plying a scale of qualification for burgesses under the Corporation I iii, and thus determining the judgment of the Peers upon tilt: last-mentioned of those two measures, has been so grossly and kna vishly misconstructed, as t o sa ti s fy every discerning person that the intent of the framers was to have. the Bill so retarded in the House of Commons that for 'want of time it must he thrown out by the Lords, and an outcry thus raised against the latter assembly as , being an obsta c l e i n t h e wa y of' " liberal ingislation. And in what concerns the Bill for bribing the political. Dissenters here, the same shuffling and fraudulent course has been pursued by Ministers as that by which they have deliberately 'battled the fulfilment of their own pledges to the Irish Papists for the subversion of the Church in Ireland. They introduced a Bill for robbing the Bishops and Chapters throughout England of their property, to the amount of the whole contribu tion, hitherto paid by a levy upon all proprietors (Dis senters included) under the name of Church-rates. Their Bill for that praiseworthy purpose they knew- they could never carry. What matter ? They brought it in. It was all but thrown out even by the House of Coin, mons, being resisted by Sir Robert Peel and the Con servatives mainly on the ground that the proposed plunder of the Clergy was an open attack upon the first principle of an Established Church ; and what is to be their mode of extrication from this not unforeseen di lemma? Why, as usual. a Committee to inquire': To inquire into what ? Into the management of Church leases. And what has the management of Church leases between two voluntary and consenting parties, viz., the lessors and the lessees, to do with the one grand and fundamental objection, on which the large Conservative minority rested—namely, that the Bill prepared by Ministers was one for subverting the en tire principle of a Church establishment. How will that, which is, to use a favourite word, the " vital" part of the question, be affected by the report, let it be what it may, of a Committee whose professed business is to examine on what terms the lessees of Church property hold their land ? They might as well deter mine the question of Septennial Parliaments by a Com mittee upon Church leases. Another absurdity in this Whig-Radical manoeuvre, is the instituting an in quiry into subjects of which the mere fact of their having months ago framed a Bill on Church -rates, and submitted it to Parliament, supposed them to be already complete masters, or the most arrant cheats that ever exposed themselves to public punishment and scorn. But the proper designation of this Committee is not a Committee of Inquiry—it is a " pro crastination Committee," a " no-Government Com mittee," a " stop-gap" Committee—a drag upon the march of the national business—a screen to the do nothingness of a sham Administration, which leaves ttomonument or record behind it, but, locust-like, the track of its devastations upon the yearly Budget. This Committee is to inquire, to sit, to prolong its sittings, to fall asleep on its chair, and, above all, not dare to dream of reporting until the Session shall have closed, and it has become impossible to proceed with the Church-rate Bill before February, 1838, at. soonest. There never was a case so manifest as this. The Radical-ridden Ministers are afraid to meet the ex plosion of their own quackeries ; they tremble at the risk of even-handling their own tools ; they are, in reality, tied neck and heels and flung into a ditch of their own excavating. Except th a t th ey eat an d drink, and quarter their dependents on the country, they no more constitute the Government of England than they do the Senate of ancient Rome. But they murmur at our upbraidings. Their scribes complain that the Radicals in office arc harshly treated when we charge them with being mere marrow less bones of Ministers, or stuffed scarecrows, not living functionaries of the Constitution. They say that there are formidable obstacles in their path, that there are difficulties which they cannot surmount, and which ought to excuse them for not fulfilling their sworn engagements to the country. Now, to any dispassionate reasoner, the allegation that a given set of men are obstructed in the performance of what they conceive to be their duty by barriers which they cannot pass, is an obvious argument, not for their attempting impossibilities, but for their retiring from a position the duties of which they find themselves unable- to execute. If they do not relish the alter native of retiring,' there are other expedients which, on their own showing, they are not only privileged, but bound in all strictness, to resort to. For in stance—they assert, on one occasion, that it is im possible for them to carry any patriotic scheme into action when the House of Lords places itself in fierce opposition to their most popular measures. Very well; what is the answer to all this? The answer is, that there are but three modes of proceeding-Ist, to let their grand nostrutns of reform, one and all, eva porate, and the business of the nation stagnate, while they (the Ministers) swallow their salaries, and drop from mere placemen into mere pensioners of the State. To this we presume that, in theory at least, they will demur, as being utterly disgraceful. 2d. They raise an outcry against the House of Lords. Very well— then, gentlemen, if the House of Lords be the only obstacle between you and the performance of your duty, you ought either to submit at once to the ascen dancy of the House of Lords, and cease to be your selves a dead incumbrance upon the State, or you ought to deprive the Lords of their power of so defeat ing your utility. In the latter case, therefore, the busi ness of Ministers is to make open war upon the House of Lords, either by adopting Mr. Roebuck's counsel, and deciarinv, that the Lords, after a second exercise of their veto, shall have no further power of legislating, the Commons taking into their own hands exclusively the right of making lays for England, or by a direct imita tion of the Long Parliament, and a vote that the House of Lords is a nuisance We aver, -that it is the duty of the Radical Ministers, if they act consistently with their own p rem i ses , to come to this conclusion. Com plaining of the Lords as a grievous obstruction, they are bound to ask the House of Commons to remove that obstruction. We challenge them to do so—we implore them to do so. Let the House of Commons and the people of England decide whether it is the Lords or the O'Connell Ministry who are the most hateful nuisance. If they dare not submit to such an ordeal, let them resign at once, or confess that they are false and periling schemers, w h o are sens ibl e o f no real grievan ce but that of the sacrifice of office. Again, when they are taunted with shrinking from a dissolution of Parliament, while the existing majority in the House of Commons is manifestly too small to support their revolutionary policy, what is their an swer ? "Oh his M ----y will not suffer us to dis solve." Very well, then, as we said in the case of the House of Lords, if you . justified your acceptance of office on the score of vour carrying certain popular measures, and that you find some stiff and impassable obstructions in your way, the plain common eense of the question is, that you should either resign or annihilate the obstructions. In this instance, there fore, as the King is the obstruction, your duty is either (upon your own argument, mind) to retire from an office wilich entails responsibility without power, or to remoee the King. We repeat, that these men have pm themselves in a situation which compels theirs eith e r to a retention of office under circumstances more disgraceful than ever brought culprit to the pillory, or to the proposition of a vote in Parliament for the treasonable purpose of deposing their sovereign, King William. We challenge them to this also, as we did to an attack on the House of Lords. We them, the cleft stick is ready to close upon them. We have ar gued the question upon their own grounds. Carry your measures, gendemen, by sweeping away the im pediments which oppose you, or resign your places to • those who can govern the empire. You must abide the consequences of your own voluntary undertaking. You must abide the pelting of that storm, which, we are as well satisfied as you can be, will overwhelm you in the attempt to justify by measures your verbal accusations of the King and Peers, or you must not think of combining any longer the twofold character of logs arid locusts —you must not eat largely, and do no work.—Times. The final decision of the House of Commons upon the Irish Tithe Bill is looked forward to with con siderable anxiety. The subject has acquired a new des, , ,ree of interest, from the rumoured defection of some of the Irish Members who have hitherto supported the general policy of the Government. For our own part, we do not believe that any one Liberal Irish Member will be wanting in the discharge of his duty noon th .e occasion. That there is a section (if the nomber of the party would warrant the O. ppOntioh) who arc de sirous of seeioe. the tote.l abolition of tithee, aii(t consequently are dissatisfied With the Miiiisietlel tire, know ; but we cannot imaeme that these gentlemen would, in order to record theie o pinion. without the possibility of ',..;..eiueing any peentieel effect, endanger the, existence of ti OUSiminent Which has bre'.7.g . rit forweeel Measures more calculated to 0 'her eV prove betencia to Ireland than any o, . er presided over the destiny of e!Val; Unhappy country Is it possible thee: these gentlemen think so lightly of the etkekight forward and generous policy of Lord Mulgreeve's government of Ireland ae, oppo',-,Mg the Tithe Bill, to give such a practical proof or their indis position to support it ? There is not, it is well-known, the slightest chance that the present Bill will pass ' through the House of Lords. How, then, can it be expected that a larger measure would meet their Lord ship's approbation ? We would recommend these Hon. Members not to deprive the House of Lords of the merit of defeating a measure more hateful to them than to the total abolitionists themselvee. The latter, no doubt, would have the credit of breaking up the Cabinet, should his Majesty, of which we have considerable doubt, think it for the welfare of the nation to receive their resignation. The Tories we know, arc quite confident that the King is anxious for an opportunity of freeing himself from an ob noxious Ministry. Vie do not participate in this estimate of the King's sentiments. We have sufficient confidence in the intelligence and patriotism of the Royal mind, to suppose that he would not hazard the consequences of such a step. We are of opinion that the present Cabinet will not be permitted to quit office, whether they be defeated by the injudicious con duct of certain Irish Members, or by the obstinate re sistance of a majority in the House of Lords, until an appeal be made to the sense of the nation, through the medium of a general election. Some of the Mem bers to whom we refer dare not attempt it—honour forbids them—patriotism forbids them—their consti tuents forbid them. In proof of which we have only to refer to the county of Galway, where a meeting is convened for Thursday next, in order to present an Address to his Majesty, expressive of their confidence in his present advisers, and of the government of Lord Mulgrave.—Morning Advertiser. Lord Denman would have acted in a manner un worthy of his high character and his exalted judicial station if he had hesitated to bring under the no tice of the House of Lords the resolutions of the House of Commons, touching the novel and mon strous claim of privilege set up by that branch of the Legislature. The resolutions of that Hovse implicate the Lord Chief Justice in a charge of breach of pri vilege, which, if his accusers su pp ose d th a t L earne d Judge would tamely submit to, they must have be lieved him to be much more deficient in moral courage and the manly sense of self-respect than he has ever shown himself to be. It is true the Select Committee have added the following words to their Report, with the view of. obtaining for the distinguished " delin quent" the merciful forbearance of the CoMmons : " Your Committee feel it proper to add, that the direc tion of the Lord Chief Justice to the jury was pro nounced under circumstances which preclude all sup position of an intentional violation of the privi leges of the House." This is, no doubt, a very kind and considerate " rider" to the act of accusa tion. If it be intended as an emollient to the wounded reputation of the Chief Justice, it is one that does not extract the sting. How gratifying it must be to the feelings of the first Judge of the highest court of common-law judicature in the realm to learn that he is acquitted of any wilful and malicious violation of the privileges of the House of Commons, and only con victed of gross and dangerous ignorance of that por tion of the lex term which constitutes the law of Par liament I The prudence of Lord Ellenborough in en deavouring to dissuade the Lord Chief Justice from bringing this important subject under the consideration of the House was very remarkable ; but there are cases in which cold and calculating "prudence" is only ano ther name for that meanness of spirit which courts in justice by servilely submitting to wrong. Lord Den man rightly said, that " as one of his Majesty's Judges and as a Peer of Parliament, he felt he should be de serting his duty if he did not bring this subject under their Lordships' consideration." In another point of view, and independently of the duty of self-vindication, the Noble and Learned Lord is right in taking this step. The public are aware that two or three new actions have been commenced against printers of the House of Commons in the teeth of the resolutions of that House. Is it better, we ask, that Lord Den man should wait and determine the question of pri vilege in those cases, and thereby bring himself in per sonal cellision with the Commons, or that lie should have the subject discussed and settled beforehand by the whole Legislature ? Though Lord Denman, as being a Peer of Parliament, could not be made to answer at the bar of the House, for what he did as a Judge, yet it might become the duty of a Judge who is not a Peer of Parliament to determine the plea of privilege. Therefore Lord Denman• was bound, as well in consideration of his judicial brethren as in duty to himself, to take the course which he has adopted. In this case Lord Ellenborough may rest assured that the really prudent line of conduct is a bold and reso lute one. Lord Denman has only acted with the promptitude and decision which the occasion re quired, and we are quite certain that, in asserting a great constitutional principle against the novel and tyrannical pretensions of the House of Commcm, he will have the sympathy and support of the country. In another point of view the resolution which the Chief Justice has taken to bring the question under the consideration of the House of Lords may be shown to be the proper one. It is a position taken by the se lect Committee in their report that " the privilege of each house respectively includes the collective privi lege of Parliament." So far are we from denying this proposition, that, when arguing in support of Lord Denman' s d ec i s i on last February, we took pp some pains to show that the House of Commons could have no privilege which did not equally belong to the other House of Parliament ; yet, if the House of Commons is to be sole judge of the existence mid extent of its own privileges, it may declare that to be " privi lege of Parliament" which the House of Lords denies to be such, as was the case in the proceedings • which took place in reference to the memorable action of " Ashby v. White," to which we have before re ferred. There the House of Lords not only denied the privilege asserted by the Commene, but vindi cated and established the common-law right of the subject to bring an action on the case for damages against a returning-officer for improperly disallowing a vote at an election. If the privilege be, indeed, as the Select Committee assert—the collective privilege of Parliament—why should the House of Commons have sole and exclusive jurisdiction to decide upon it ? The Committee themselves have furnished the strongest reason why Lord Denman shoold, as speedily as pos sible, submit the question to the House of Lords. The argument of Committee militates against its own con. elusion. Nothing is more clear than that the decision of one House upon a claim of collective privilege is, at the best, but the decision of half a tribunal. Lord Denman is right in not allowing a questiln of pri*le lege, in which the whole Legislature nave an interest, to be determined by a part. We may be considered presumptuous by some for disputing the legality Of all alleged privilege which, in Committee, had the support of five barristers of considerable eminence, if there had been the names of fifty it would have made no diffe rence with us, if they could produce no better grounds for their decision than what their report, affords. Three of those names we are not surprised to see appended to such a r document—viz., Sir John Campbell, the Attorney-General, Mr. O'Connell, and Sergeant Wilde. None are ever more ready than party men of extremely liberal doctrines to subvert the great land-marks of constitutional freedom. But confess it is with surprise and regret we observe this report sanctioned by the names of such law- Frederick Pollock and Sir 'William T' Of on such an occas i on , we s h e e•oilett. ers them as Sir things —we should 1" _old have an ti c ip a t e d b e tter been th e conservnci ...e expect e d th a t t h e y wou ld h a ve . must be aware that every errors, and pries eeto riot the violators, of great pl ot constitutional l aw , more espec i a ll y as t h e y beyond prop e rits extension of eleweefatic owes and defin e d limit's tends to disturb the tAdanc e of ••our tined rroverruxi(tpt, and seriously , . g • • • •' 1 1 1 IE SUN, LONUON, MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1537. endanger piiblic Not in the ,HonSe, of Corn :non were itt the ikohitidii§ , 1 4 the lienunittee received the cordial ap proval And warm support of Mes3rs.Hnine and Wakley.

It was but re cently that the smile distinguished Statesman plated hinisTlf in a false position iii regard to the improve. meat of the criminal law, which every friend of his fame and admirer of his talents saw with regret: The part which Sir It. Inglis took, as a Member of the Committee and a Member of the House, in opposing the resolutions in both capacities, and endeavouring to substitute others more in accordance with precedent, the principles of justice and the spirit of the Constitu tion, has entitled him to the gratitude of the country. Is it not monstrous that while the law of libel declares the publication of truth a crime the House of Com mons shall assert the right of protecting those who com mit crime ? Hitherto it had been generally understood that privilege could be no protection in matters criminal. It was considered an established maxim of the Constitution that for indictable matters—and libel is one—through all the gradations of treason, felony, and breach of the peace—Parliamentary privilege could not extend its shield over the offender. We live in the days of new ,doctrines,.and we shall show that to make Parliamentary privilege a protection for crime of any sort is not the law of England.• We assert and will maintain that if an alleged privilege cannot be shown to be part of the lex terra, or law of the land— either common or statute law—it can have no valid existence. We have often shown the injustice and absurdity of the law of libel. Perhaps when the House of Commons feels the practical effects of its injustice, it may be less reluctant than it has hitherto been to take it into serious consideration with a view to its efficient reform. To-morrow we shall take the liberty of commenting upon some of the more pro minent points of the Report, and showing a few of the fallacies, both as to references and reasoning,which it contains.—Morning Herald. A crisis has now arrived in the affairs of this king dom which demands the most earnest exertions of a wise and energetic, a discreet and vigorous, Govern ment. Will the kingdom, under such circumstances, be satisfied with such a Government as the present ? We should think not. The mercantile credit of Great Britain is at this moment surrounded by circumstances of frightful apprehension, such as we have not expe rienced since the tremendous crash of 1825-6. They who are engaged in extensive transactions of business GUILDHALL. scarcely know where they are to look for safety, or in whom they may trust. At such a time a fearful re sponsibility rests upon the Government. Does the present Government consist of men who are fitted to acquit themselves of such responsibility with resolution and discreetness ? Our opinion is that it does not, and we believe this to be the opinion, the sincere • nion, of all classes in the country. We have no satisfaction in making this statement ; far from it. There are times of urgent national necessity, when all party feelings are merged in an overwhelm ing anxiety for the general safety. Such a time is the present. The question at this moment is not for the ascendancy of Tory or of Whig—of Conservative or of Liberal. It is the safety of the country— , the averting of general distress and dismay —Mat is the question which now concerns us. Most sincerely can we declare that nothing would cause us to rejoice so heartily as a conviction that the present Government was competent to grapple with present difficulties, and to take the lead in doing what present circumstances render politic. Most assuredly we should not, for the sake of any possible party triumph, press hard upon Ministers at such a time, if we thought them capable of managing those affairs which have nothing at all to do with disputed questions of party politics. If we thought there were heads and hearts capacity and resolution—in the present Ca binet to deal with so important and so urgent an affair as the upheaving and breaking in pieces of the of the mighty fabric of British commercial credit, we should gladly propose a truce in all party disputes, that undivided and undisturbed attention might be given to the affairs which so seriously demand that at tention. But we do not think that this Goverment is at all competent to deal with the present state of affairs in the commercial world—we do not believe that it possesses the extensive knowledge, the deliberate courage, or the lofty character, which are requisite for the guidance of the country under its present circumstances. It is scarcely possible to imagine anything more unbecoming, or more unsatisfactory, than the reply of Lord John Russell on Friday evening to the observa tions of Sir George Sinclair relative to the state of af fairs in the commercial world, and the propriety of the Gove:n rent a id th.! House of Commons taking them into consideration. It may have been that these ob servations were not quite regularly introduced, but who is to be restrained by miserable technical.t:e ; when the substance of most vital affairs is pressing upon his mind ? Does Lord John Russell suppose that if the House were on fire no Member should say anything about it unless he had given formal notice ? It is not less absurd to make this kind of objection to the man tion of such circumstances as those to which Sir George Sinclair called the attention of the House. The paltry petulance of feeble irritability is worse than disgusting when we know, and all the world knows, that the matters pressed upon the attention of the House were serious realities. A very different tone would have much better become the Minister o f the Crown. If he had no satisfactory assurance to give he might have at least - manifested a decent concern re specting affairs which so deeply and so reasonably en gage the attention of the whole kingdom, and fill the minds of the commercial classes with such intense anxiety. It would have been satisfactory to learn that Government was seriously addressing itself to the state of affairs. It would have been a . proper respect to the representatives of a commercial people to have given them some assurance of the sympathy of Gee vernment with their anxiety, and the exertions of Go vernment for their relief. But no such thing was to be gathered from the speech of Lord John Russel. On the contrary, the petty exasperation which he dis played showed that his mind was not at all occupied with the grave totrcerris which, ought to occupy th e mind of a Minister at such a time. The mere party malignity of a spiteful mind, incapable d occupying itself with great practical concerns, was all that the speech of the Minister conveyed to the House of Commons. can commit, bu l t !tl e e spe g c7a 4 ll t y " a l IsSotialYtes7nha which is to y o shutroan his eyes upon or to neglect, actual, existing, unde. ttiable facts. He filly affect ] like a fool, not to see them, but he must feel them;,. does andif ourlle be not a charlatan or a ninny he will look at them steadily, and act accordingly. Now, what Minister do ? Facts are stated to him by Sir George Sinclair which he does not dare to deny because they are noteriously true, and which he deepot ad mit because he has not the spirit or the intelligence to ti dare t o deal with them as he ought. " From all I can learn," said Sir George Sinclair, " there never was a period in the history of this country when embarrassment, dis content, and a dread of impending consequences more universally prevailed among all classes. I am con vinced it will be necessary for the Legislature to inter fere. There are many merchants possessed of large assortments of goods on hand who are quite unable to dispose of them, in order to meet demands upon their houses. We hear every day of great failures taking pl ace , and houses of the highest respectability being obliged i to stop payment. I ask whether its consistent wi th justice to those individuals that these sub j ec ts should satisfaction should be allowed to prevail ? Can any never be spoken of in this House, but „ that dis if they cannot be denied will any reasonable man ques.. one deny the facts stated by the H on.

Were the matter in question some scheme of Mr. O'Connell for the overthrow of the Protestant Monarchy in Ireland, the Minister would not venture to object to its notice or discussion at any moment that his Irish master might bring it forward ; but the in terests of British commerce must not pretend to cope with those of the Irish Radical party. The latter affects immediately the existence of the Minister's place—the former will affect it too, but more re motely, and in the meantime some favourable chance may turn up to alter the complexion of affairs. To that chance, therefore, the commercial interests of Great Britain are left.-111orning Post. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. On Saturday Henry Baylis and Alfred Baylis, two brothers, carpenters, were ceatged with stealing a quan tity of wine from their employer, Mr. Warman. The prisoners, who denied the charge, were committed for trial. HATTON. GARDEN. On Saturday Samuel Fletcher and john William Bick ers, residents of Islington, were charged under the fol lowing circumstances : . . For several years past the prisoner Fletcher has laid claim to a property in the Lower-road, Islington, as heir at-law of a person, named Hammond, which is likewise claimed by a gentleman of the name of Pickering, under the will of a Mr. Hayes, who died in 1821. Under the impression that the property was his, Fletcher pulled down seven of the houses, and sold the building materials. He also forcibly obtained the possession of many others, amongst which was one in the Lower-road, lately occupied by Dr. Sutherland as a Lunatic Asylum. These premises Mr. Fletcher and his men, who were armed with firearms, were laying waste in defiance of everybody. The prisoner Bickers, a broker, had got into possession of Dr. Suther land's house under a warrant of distress, signed by Fletcher. They were charged by the other claimant, Mr. Pickering, with felony. Both committed for trial. MARYLEBONE. Three miserable-looking men, in tattered jackets, named Dennis Newland, John Croley, and Dennis Croley (the lat ter two brothers), were charged with begging in the streets. One of them exhibited a paper, with the words, " Please to relieve three poor individuals who have come from the Queen of Spain's service, and have no recompense for their servitude." On one of them was found a letter to the Lord Mayor, but which was not delivered, owing to the officer having repulsed him from the door of the Mansion-house. In reply to questions from the Magistrates, the poor fellows stated that they had suffered the most dreadful privations in the Queen of Spain's service for the last twelve months, and that the men in the regiment to which they belonged having received no pay for that time, determined unani mously on laying down their arms. Two hundred of them arrived at Portsmouth a fortnight ago, and they (the priso ners) had travelled to London without shoes to their feet. The Magistrates administered temporary relief to them. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Madame Grisi was summoned by the firemen who at tended to put out a fire in the chimney of her apartments in Regent-street, for having objected to pay the customary reward. The fire, which was of a very trifling character, was not denied, and the reason assigned by a gentleman who appeared on behalf of Madame Grisi for withholding the reward was, that when the apartments were taken an agreement was given that they should be kept in a proper state. Now, had the chimney been swept in due season the soot would not have been in sufficient abundance to ignite. The firemen said the chimney was set on fire in consequence of Madame Grisi's cook having thrown a pan full of fat into it accidentally. The second reward was then ordered to be paid to the claimants. THAMES-OFFICE. TVilliam Vanderward and William Cannel?, the master and mate of the barge Waterloo, were charged with steal ing ten bushels of wheat and a bushel of pease from a cargo entrusted to their care. Suspicions having existed, search was made on Friday, when the above quantity of wheat and pease was found concealed in the main hold. Half-a-dozen sacks belonging to different persons were also found, cut up, and made into a bed for the mate. The barge had sailed from Lea, in Essex, and had been recently employed to bring up a cargo of wheat and pease to Mr. Brown, the granary-keeper at Horselydown. It was from this cargo the articles found had been stolen. The pri soners were fined 5/. each, and, in default of payment, they will go to prison for two months. The corn will be restored to the owner. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. ENTERED INWARDS AT THE CUSTOM HOUSE, JUNE 3.

The Duchess-Countess of Sutherland's party, Friday night, at Hamilton-place, was a very select and brilliant as semblage. The evening party was preceded by a grand dinner to a distinguished circle of noble friends ; after which the superb saloons were brilliantly lighted to receive the noble party. Among those present we noticed Prince Ester hazy, Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, Duchess of Richmond, Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury, &c. My own convictions are, that Temperance Associ ations, excellent as they are for mechanical objects, are not fit instruments for the achievement of moral aims : that there is et no proof that the principle of self-restraint has been ex alted and strengthened in the United States by the Temper ance movement, while the already too great regard to opinion, and subservience to spiritual encroachment, have been much increased ; that, therefore, great as are the visible benefits of the institution, it may at length appear that they have been dearly purchased. I have reason to think that numbers of persons in the United States, especially enlightened physicians, (who have the best means of knowledge,) are of the same opinion. This is confirmed by the fact that there is a spread ing dislike of Associations for moral, while there is a growing attachment to them for mechanical objects. The majority will show to those who may be living at the time what is the right. —Miss Illartineates Society in America.

He was decently dressed in a velveteen coat, but no trace of his connections was found upon Wm. —Shrewsbury Chroniclee. PRICES OF CANALS, DOCK STOCKS, ASSURANCE CO.',IPANIES,&e. &c.

(From the Leeds Intriligencer of Saturday.) 'I I I4APi or LEEDS.—The market of Saturday last was one of the worst we have had for some time. Very fey/ rterchants attended the Halls, and the time when fewetser saltl' were effected is scarcely recollected . The stre bear arriillc testimony to the numbers ou t of employ. 00 Tuesday there :Aso a flat market. The few sales that. effected consisted principally of lo w Petershams, And scarcely any tine cloth changed hands. s HEctistomowutE.—The blanket market c ontinues in very depressed state ; the accounts Prom America are un favourable, and the borne trade is all that can be expected to give relief to the manufacturers. The blanket trade at Dewsbury and the neighboUrh°4 has not t'eert in such a stagnant state as it is now for ' long time past. For game months the m ills have beta Worliag at short time, and we regret to hear that it is net the worst, for one of the principal firms have ann ounced an intention to reduce the wages of their workmen in order to enable them to meet their competitors in the market. TIT° the gcapc-goat. BIIAAFORD 111A-RICET.- We have no improvement to note in the demand for goods on Thursday, and the little bminess done was transacted on lower terms .
