Long continued 111-health had induced the Proprietor a short time Since to announce the business of this Hotel for disposal, he having been disabled from paying that ative personal attention to its Management, which an extensive patronage by the public deservedly and indispensably required. It has, therefore, become necessary for the advertiser, W. Gray, that he should with returning health thankfully make known his relinquishment of all intention, for the present, of letting this estab lishment; his usual personal superin• endence of which he has the happiness again to be fully able to resume. In addition to this announcement to the public, W. G. has pleasure In advising the frequenters of this house—his commercial friends more particularly—of his having succeeded in obtaining posse sion of a portion of the adjoining premises, so as to have enlarged the ac• Commodations of the hotel. Without wishing to assume a credit for past attention to his cus tomers beyond that which they may properly have expecte !, W. G. monist help adding an assurance for the future to all his visitors, that It will ever be his wish to merit the patronage he receives, and his ambition to maintain the Swan among the first in the class of Com mercial Hotels.

How much were those envied who fortunately had with them one of NICOLL'S PALETOTS! This garment, in Its popularity, may be compared to the Blouse of Germany, and is, daring the hot weather, worn without another coat. They are of two kinds, one resembling in colour the usual attire of an English Gen tleman; but that which was so much worn at these races is of the same nature as those shipped by the Patentees for the East and West Indies, being very light and porous, and which, from Its colour, has obtained the singular nick-name of the' Dust-ah " Made only by H., J., and D.

The cloth is made of Llama Wool, a fabric : ost agreeably soft and elastic to the tench, and is one-third the weight of ordinary woollen clothes, but it corresponds In shades of colour. It is ery durable, and naturally a repellent of rain, yet so porous as to admit of a due escape of exces sive bodily heat. These advantages, with the very moderate price charged, renders the Registered Paletot worthy the attention of all. They can be purchased In London, of the Patentees only, at their Vi r arerooras, 114, Regent-street, and 22, Cornhill, THE Public is respectfully cautioned that H. J. and D. NICOLL, Court Tailors, have never granted the Li cence to any other house in London of making and selling the LLAMA CLOTH REGISTERED PALETOT. The celebrity so justly earned by this light water-proof and gentlemanly overcoat has induced many otherwise respectable tradesmen to assume a simi larity of name, but in that only can it resemble the: true Paletot. It has been deemed advisable to state that the registered Paletot of Llama Cloth can only be purchased of the Patentees, in London, viz., W., J., and D. NICOLL, 114, Regent-street, or their New Warereoms, 22, Cornhill, opposite the south entrance of the Royal Exchange, and one door from Change-alley.

Public attention is naturally directed to the continent of India, in these times of speculative enterprise, as a new and unexplored field for the investment of capital, from the conviction that the yet unde veloped resources of its wealth, its industry, and its productive power, will richly and amply remunerate the speculator. The millions who people that vast and fertile region of the globe, I only require the impulse of enterprise to call forth the almost bound less riches that immediately surround them ; and were they possessed of that great artery of civilisation —railroads —the current of their political and industrial strength would instantly become enlarged, not only in volume, but in richness also. If we glance at the continent of India, we find our power mainly concentrated on three points on the coast—Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, which form an irregular tria ng le, th e b ase o f which may be termed Madras and Calcutta, and the apex Bombay; and the great bulk of the wealth and physical power of India is inclosed within that figure; therefore, it becomes a matter of the primest im portance to have the intersecting lines of our empire as perfect as possible, so that our power may be felt at every point, and our in fluence extended to every part. From the want of this concentrative power, India has become almost a burden to the mother country, barely paying its executive administration in lieu of being a lucrative possession —a wealth-yielding appendage. To obviate this great and glaring defect in our Anglo-Indian em pire, it is only necessary to extend to her the same means of com munication that we possess at home ; to bring, in short, the great centres of her internal power nearer to each other ; and, instead of depending upon her rivers as lines of traffic and intercourse, she ought to have a well-arranged network of railway extending over her surface ; then she would increase in power, and augment in riches. The Direct Bombay and Madras Railway is projected to carry out, in part, this noble scheme ; and a single glance at the map must convince the most taut: ;us calculator that the project is well founded, and the line of route happily chosen to effect its purpose; as it will intersect the most wealthy and industrious provinces of the continent of India, the Carnatic, and the Mysore, which abound in natural productions, in manufacturing industry, and in agricultural wealth. The two great Presidencies of Madras and Bombay will be brought within a few hours' journey of each other, and not months, as here tofore ; and, in lieu of vessels making a long and dangerous voyage of some 5,400 miles half round the entire peninsula of India, their easily cargoes may be easily conveyed to Bombay for shipment, in a less number of hours than the voyage occupies days: thus avoiding all risks of damage, peculation, wear, and tear, &c., which in general characterise these voyages. The saving of insurance will also be immense—a matter of first-rate importance. In a political and military point of view, the line must be of almost incalculable importance, as it will intersect the great depots of the East India Company, and afford at al times a ready and prompt conveyance for troops, baggage, stores, artillery, and that cumbrous materiel which invariably attend their march ; and, above all, it will prove of the utmost utility to the Indian Government, in the distri bution of their forces among the various military posts of the three Presidencies, and for their rapid concentration on any required point, the watt of which was so distinctly shown in the late calamitous events on the Sutlej, and the consequent fearful sacrifice of life. The district traversed by the Direct Bombay and Madras Railway contains upwards of 30,000,000 of inhabitants ; and the wants and industry of this large body already yield a considerable tonnage, al hough in a comparative state of barbarous communication. In the report of the Bombay Chamber of Commerce, we find that the traffic to and from that City amounts to 187,343 tons annually, con sisting chiefly of cotton and salt. These two items form morel, a fraction of the requirements of the Indians, Bombay is unapproach able except by a dangerous and expensive sea-board, and acheap and safe communication can alone render available her internal resources. Cotton has now to be transported 500 miles to the coast, to reach Bombay fir shipment. A railway would naturally obviate so cir cuitous and expensive a route. Some idea may be formed of the de struction and delay occasioned by these journeys, when we state that the cotton is carried on the backs of oxen, at the rate of 10 miles per day, which enormously augments its shipment price. The present cost of conveyance from Nag - pore to the port of shipment is from 141. to 2 'l. a ton, and the charge by rail of 2d a ton per mlle would amount to 41. 3s. 4d., a oonsiderable difference. The same facts pre vail in regard to silk and other commodities, which are of the first importance to our manufacturing interests. This line will also bring nearer to us the fine island of Ceylon, with all its rich productions, commencing as it will at Madras, and taking in its course Arcot, Vellore, Banglare, Oscotta, Bangalore, Sera, Dodal rec., Hurrioor, Ghittledroog, Myacunda, Anagee, Hurryhur, Shahnoor, Hullyhall, Hoobly, Darwar, Taloor, Gohauk, Rybaugh, Meeruj, Kola poor, Satara, Poona, Poonah, Tulligaon, Singhur, Callianee, Basseen, Salsette, and Bombay ; thus absorbing the interests and traffic of up wards of 30 first-rate cities, and from 400 to 500 towns in the most densely populated part of India, facilitating the conveyance of cotton, coffee, tobacco, opium, sugar, silk, senna, gum, cassia, dye-woods, hides, furs, lac, betel nut, saltpetre, spices, fire-woed, charcoal, coal, corn, and various kinds of grain, indigo, &c., and the imports of treasure, manufactured and other goods, salt, ice, &c. The passenger traffic alone, according to reasonable and careful calculation, will yield an ample per tentage on the capital raised ; and the immense tonnage of merchandise and raw produce must insure to the shareholders a profit beyond even the first-rate lines of England. The promoters of the present scheme have received intelligence from their agents that the line presents no engineering difficulties, and that the cost of construction must be moderate, labour being plentiful, and the purchase of land comparatively trifling, and wood, coal, and iron abounding in the immediate neighbourhood of the whole line. The management of the Company will be vested in a Board of Di rectors in London, in connexion with an influential branch both in Bombay and Madras. Care will be taken, in the act constituting the Company, that the responsibility of the Shareholders shall be limited to the amount of their subscriptions: and four per cent. interest will be paid upon the capital advanced up to the time of construction. The Directors also beg to call especial attention to the principle by which allottees in this Company are protected from an objectionable responsibility, by the condition that their shouldapplication tlwy for afterwardsshares will not toline y be p a considered thed e. pos its requi; ed te time binding upon them, specified in their letters of allotment.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) RAMSGATE, JUNE 16.—Her Majesty the Queen Dowager and suite arrived here by special train this afternoon, at one o'clock, en route to Ostend, for which purpose the Admiralty yacht Black Eagle had been placed at her disposal. The tirst intimation of her arrival was given to the public by the hoisting of the royal standard on the church, and a salute of twenty-one guns from the pier, and shortly after the royal party proceeded to the yacht, which was lying at the mouth of the harbour, both piers of which were crowded with spec tators anxious to catch a glimpse of their transient visitor. The Garland mail-packet departed with the carriages two hours before her Majesty, so as to be in readiness for her at Ostend. James Macgregor, Esq., chairman, Feilden, Esq., M.P., Vis count Torrington, and other directors of the South-Eastern Railway, were in attendance upon her Majesty while on her journey from London. The traffic between this port and Ostend is still on the increase, the number of passengers and carriages in and out from the Ist to the 14th of this month, being, of the former, 846, and of the latter, 20, with the prospect of a still larger increase. IBRAHIM PACHA.. BIRMINGHAM. TUESDAY—HIM serene iiiglinesathePaeha has again been busily engaged to-day in . further Inspection of the manatee tories of this town. Accompanied as yesterday, he started forth this morning, and first visited the extensive brass foundry of Mr. II Smith, the worthy mayor of the town. After which he proceeded to the rolling mills of Mr. C. Clifford, the ponderous machinery of which, and the pur poses for which it is applied, seemed fairly to astonish his Highness. A small piece of metal, about the eighth of an inch in thickness, and about two ineheS in length, was rolled to the length of about two yards, and so pleased was the Pacha with the operation, that he asked permission to retain the piece of metal, which was of course granted. The Government gun-barrel proof house next attracted the atten tion of the party, and his fli_hness listened to the volleys of fire arms that were being proved as though he was, or had been, well accustomed to the sound. The Britannia nail works was also visited by his Highness, who not only takes a cursory glance at the machinery, but thoroughly observes its action and the adaptation of the various parts. His Highness and party, having returned to the Royal Hotel and partaken of lunch, left that place about three o'clock in the afternoon, and visited the extensive show-rooms and manufactory of Mr. Westley Richards, whose fowling-pieces are so well known over the world. The process of gun-barrel making was next shown to his Highness, at the extensive works of Messrs. Sergeant, who were honoured with a similar visit by his Royal Highness Prince Albert when he was in Birmingham. One of the greatest curiosities to his Highness appeared to be the working of Mr. Farmer's patent portable rotary pumps and fire-engine, the action of which was de scribed by the patentee at his manufactory in Broad-street, who also exhibited a highly-finished model pump, of small dimensions. During the visit hi s Highness also inspected the extensive screw m anufactory of Mr. J ames James. Thi s even i ng th e party dine at the Royal Hot e l , and will to-morrow, a visit to the extensi ve Soho wor:is of M essrs. Boulton and ' pay Watts. at HanSworth, about three miles from this town, after which they will proceed to the London steel works, which are situated at the adjoining village of Smethwiek. The Gospel Oak Iron Works, in the neighbourhood, will, it is expected, receive a visit from his Highness, who, according to present arrangements, will return to Birmingham to-morrow evening, and ag ain leave on the following morning for Manchester, and after in specting the cotton factories, northwards. proceed on his tour IBR A- 11 rn PACHA IN A WHALE'S BELLY. An amusing incident occurred during the Pacha's peregri nation yesterday ; there happens to be at this moment in Bir mingham the skeleton of a large whale on view, at the price of a penny a head. Ibrahim saw the long line of caravans in which this animal is contained, and he paid it an impromptu visit. The show• man received his Highness at the door, and conducted him with all gravity into the whale's belly, where he suddenly slipped away and could not be found. The official conductors of the Prince were wholly at a loss to explain the different parts of the huge creature, or to show him the way out again, and a search for the showman was instituted, when he was discovered outside his caravan beating a large gong and blowing a trumpet, bawling at the top of his lungs, when not occupied with his musical instrument, "Now's your time, ladies and gemmen, walk up, walk up, Ibrahim, King of Egypt, and all his officers, are at this =meat in my whale's belly, and can't find their way out without me." The fellow's ingenious device (for he doubled his charge at once) brought so large a crowd that the Pacha and his attendants were fain to make their exit at the whale's vent, as the ordinary entry was too much blocked up for him to be able with convenience to escape as he had come in. DEPARTURE OF THE GRAND DUKE CONSTANTINE. PoIiTSMOUTH, RINE 15.—The Russian ships IngerManland, 74, Warsaw, 22, Prince Moscow, 20, put to sea this morning from Spit head, bound to :St. Petersburgh, and by noon were clear of the Nab light vessel. Her Majesty's steamer Cornet was sent by Admiral Sir Charles Ogle to attend them to St. Helen's, and bring on shore any letters or dispatches which the Grand Duke Constantine, or Vice-Admiral Lutke, might have to send. The Baren Brunnow and the Count de Berg left the Admiralty-house, in the Dockyard, soon after breakfast, and returned to London. The dinner on board her Majesty's ship Tictory, given by the cap tains and ward-room officers' of that ship, the Excellent, Eurydice, Victoria, and Albert yacht, and Seatiower, to the Russian officers, was attended by the captains of their ships, and nine or ten others: bat neither the Grand Duke, the Russian Ambassador, the Vice-Admiral. or the Secretary were present. About eleven o'clock, the greater Part of the officers adjourned to the King's-rooms, on Southsea Beach, to the soirée, where they were met by upwards of 100 ofladies and gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood, and the dancing was kept up until two o'clock this morning. The Comet steamer was appointed to attend on the Russian officers, and bring them into the harbour, and take them out again to Spithead. And for the marked attention which they have experienced from the officers of the public departments, they have expressed their thanks. The Fairy steam yacht is expected this day from Woolwich, to be ready to convey her Majesty and the Royal Family to Osborne House. The Contest, 10, was commissioned this morning by Lieutenant Geary, for Commander lil`Murdo. Commander J. C. Hoscason Went to Plymouth this afternoon, to commission the Inflexible, at that port. the following officers are appointed to her : —Lieutenant G. C. Fowler, W. E. A. Gordon, and E. Blankley. The Nautilus brig came in from Shoreham yesterday, to replenish provision and water, and is the only vessel at Spithead. ~.

GRADUAL RISE OF N EWFOUNDLAND ABOVE THE SEA. —lt is a fact worthy of notice, that the whole of the land in and about the neighbourhood of Conception Bay, very probably the whole island, is rising out of the ocean at a late which promises, at no very distant day, materially to affect, if not to render useless, many of the best harbours we have now on the coast. At Pert de Grave, a series of observations have been made, u hich undeniably prove the rapid displacement of the sea -level in the vicinity. Several large fiat rocks, over which schooners might pass some thirty or forty years ago with the greatest facility, are now approaching the surface, the water being scarcely navigable fbr a skiff. At a place called the Cash, at the head of Bay Roberts, upwards of a mile from the sea-shore, and at several feet above its level, covered with five or six feet of vegetable mould, there is a perfect beach, the stones being rounded, of a moderate size, and in all respects similar to those new found in the adjacent land-washes.--• Newfoundland Times.

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health fnll threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyllving crea ture able to understan I ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, 01 human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities In the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the avallnaent hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations.

Before, however' detailing his own pla n Lieutenant Wagh orn th us states his objections to a plan formerly proposed for establishing a route to Australia yid Panama. " The possession of the Isthmus of Panama, for pur poses of transit, has, it is well known, been desired, with much eagerness, by successive French Administrations, almost from the day that the colonial and Indian acqui sitions of England began to be a source of jealousy to that country and to Spain. Whatever might be the actual value to France of a passage through the Isthmus, its agitation, at all events, served her views by en couraging the idea of that being the only rout e; b ecause , by so doing, it helped to divert attention from the real route to be sought ; namely, one promoting a more inti mate connexion with the Eastern or Chinese Archi• pelago—whose islands are far too numerous to mention, indeed so numerous, that over many of them the British flag has never yet waved. " About seven years ago, the French engineers who then surveyed Panama, estimated the expense of cutting a ship canal through that mountainous region, at one hundred and fifty millions of francs, or six millions sterling—an outlay altogether and at once decisive against any plan involving it. But, independent of this insurmountable pecuniary objection, the first and only stopping place between Panama and Port Jackson is dis tant no less than 3,668 miles from the former, being one of the Marquesa Islands, where the French appear to be carrying on a second Otaheite affair ; and where, if the most recent and best-informed writers are to be cre dited, the maintenance of a proper station would be all but impossible ; in so barbarous a state are the natives, and - so utterly IncapabretrteiretlfftliraclVements that would be useful, or the abandonment of habits that would be destructive to a depot of Europeans. Objec tions to the Panama route might be multiplied; but it is superfluous to add another. Everything is against it ; nothing is in its favour ; and it is to be hoped we have heard the last of any such wild and insane crotchet in connexion with England at all. Its fallacy and absurdity become transparent on a moment's examination; though it may look very well on the map, to those whose ac quaintance with the map is confined to the school-room, and who do not reflect that space is to be reckoned, not by rule and compass, but by the facilities or difficulties of getting over the distance."

CANNING. The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Times : Sir,—lt may perhaps be of some interest to recal the attention of your readers to the circumstances of the opposition which was raised by the " violence of the young Members of the Tory party," according to a pri vate letter of the late Lord Eldon, against the Adminis tration of Mr. Canning in 1827. On the 12th of April Mr. Canning accepted the office of First Lord of the Treasury, and in consequence vacated his seat in the House of Commons. An ad journment of the House took place on the same day to the Ist of May, for the purpose of giving Mr. Canning utmosts gaves ed T h h o w l i f icnslhoer course time to fill up the subordinate posts in his Ministry. On the Ist of May Sir R. Peel explained the reasons which had induced him to secede from Mr. Canning, and in his exposition avowed that " he had no personal mn o o b o j tt e e c a t ct i htouneastetdo success ys Rightanyo f thHe feelingso Catholic . at F ho r of i Feine rivalryd and, q " ues t t t oo h ns ; t a:` towards him."ed was mrte C yse a p h n s ienorniefciho regret rarhedi c ett r y e :td d ohae i ran t bmtda , et e ‘ hzr f lee o ya r Alml: b rci e u. nt i se n tdGh g .sa, with csepteffu separate r e t ssas d o, ten b o m y i p. from il c b oplio r nr brother-in-law cordiality." with a er h - t Law of Sir Robert Peel, and foohpri opponent formed Under- Secretary wtot hf fsoarrmcaesdm. : against i rr n h t o h u e g H hm o ar mt. Canning, t e i - ia o t ffi t e i e m , indulged onn i ugnst thethat at w b a i bitterest e e r r e e s r f ta o : sot ar h le a int v iuo i some of the Whigs "the bases e the Catholic claims himself, he observed that if Sir Francis Burdett and his Whig friends did not " insist that the Cabinet should propose the granting of the Catholic claims as a Government measure, they would be parties to one of the basest, one of the most unna tural, coalitions that this country had ever witnessed, and would exhibit the grossest abandonment of prin ciple." After showing that the Protestants of Ireland could have no confidence either in Mr. Canning, or in Lord Lyndhurst, his Lord Chancellor, he proceeded to contend, that " if the Roman Catholics of that country should be deluded by the prospect then held out to them by those in power, he should hold the Government and the Ministers of the Crown, and them alone, responsible for every calamity that might overtake that country and be thereby entailed upon this." For this ebullition Mr. Brougham administered a severe castigation to Mr. G. Dawson, and advised h'm to indulge in future, as he hitherto had done, "in silent votes" rather than " in petulant sneers." The debate was closed by a speech from Mr. Canning, in which he admitted that during the adjournment of Parliament for the Ministerial negotiations he had kept up with Mr. Peel the most constant and confidential in tercourse, and had found in him throughout the same candour and sincerity, and the expression of the same just feelings and a uniform exhibition of the same high principle to which he had laid claim in the address which he had that night delivered. He also made use of the following language relative to Mr. Peel and his late colleagues in the Administration:— " Between my Right Hon. Friend and myself it is almost unnecessary for me to observe, that upon every subject, in every discussion I can call to mind, upon all great questions of foreign or domestic policy and legislation— this one un happy question of Catholic Emancipation excepted—there has been that sort of general agreement, that I do not be lieve there exists the individual with whom my opinions are in more complete accordance. " " • But as to others of my late colleagues, I am not prepared to express an opinion on the proceeding they have adopted, because of its motives I am not aware.' On the 3d of May Mr. George Dawson renewed his attack on Mr. Canning; spoke of " the political farce which the Right Hon. Gentleman had been carrying on with wonderful success for the last five weeks ;" declared that " Mr. Canning and his new allies had equally lost sight of every principle which ought to have been sacred to them; and denounced the conduct of the Premier (Canning) as dictated by no other motive than the grati fication of his own personal ambition." He added, that Mr. Canning " had not been over scrupulous as to the means by which his ambitious course had been pursued." Mr. Brougham said that a more violent and unhesi tating and unscrupulous party could hardly have been gathered together, than that which had broken ground two evenings before. He charged Mr. Dawson with urging on the tried friends of the Catholic question to do that very act which every rational man must see would be fatal to the Catholic cause at that moment. He who accused Mr. Canning of betraying the Catholics was their ancient and avowed enemy. Such advice as Mr. Dawson gave to the Catholic was the thinnest disguise he had ever seen thrown by a virulent faction over its naked depravity. Mr. Peel then made a speech in defence of his own policy, in which he again disclaimed all personal ani mosity to Mr. Canning. Sir Francis Burdett remarked, in reply to it, that it appeared to him that Mr. Peel was inoculated with the virulence of the same spirit. He spoke at considerable length in reprobation of the course pursued by Mr. Peel and his personal supporters. Mr. Canning, in reply to Mr. G. Dawson (and not, as Mr. Disraeli asserted in his speech of Monday night, to his Right Hon. relative), observed, that " he rejoiced to find that the standard of opposition was at length raised. Such an act is to me worth a thousand professions of qualified neutrality. In whatever mind the feeling of hostility lurks, let it come boldly forth, and boldly will I meet it." Mr. George Dawson closed the debate by declaring that— " Had he thought proper to go into all the details which had been elsewhere alluded to, he might have recollected some passages in the past life of Mr. Canning which would justify some suspicions of that Right Hon. Gentleman as a political character—some suspicions touching the manner in which he had got his present office." He added, that " after what had passed he must observe, that if Mr. Canning looked back upon his experiences in past days, his reflections on what had taken placE in those days m ould be of no gratifying description." Mr. William Peel, on the next day, spoke strongly against the new Administration, and Mr. Canning as the head of it : " The appointment of Mr. Canning as First Lord of the Treasury increased his apprehensions. He did not know how the coalition was effected, but he thought there must have been a sacrifice on one side or the ether." _ Of the effect produced by these debates I will give the opinion of Lord Eldon, as stated in a letter . quoted by Mr. Twiss, in his life of that Nobleman, voL in., p. 1 : " The violence of the young Members of the House of Commons who are attached to the late Government has done the ex-Ministers, as I feared it would, some damage. John Bull don't like to see anybody too hard pressed, and his pity sometimes leads him to inclination which his judg ment would not have approved, if commiseration had not been excited." _ _ _ Shortly after the recess of Parliament Mr. Canning died ; and the public impression at the time certainly was that his death was hastened by the personal attacks so incessantly made upon him by the near connexions of Sir Robert Peel—whether with his approval or not, others will decide. It is quite evident, from a letter of Lord Eldon, inserted in the 3d volume of his life by Mr. Twiss, that the family of Mr. Canning considered him hunted to death by his political enemies ; for in a letter addressed to Lady F. Bankes, on the 25th January, 1828, his Lordship writes thus : " Viscountess Canning has written a strong letter, as Lord Ashley tells me, to Huskisson, strongly reproaching him for joining (I use Ashley's own expression) her husband's mur derers." _ _ _ ------- The charge of being privy to these attacks has been repeatedly preferred against Sir R. Peel ; but he has always most indignantly repelled them. In his speech on the second reading of the Catholic Emancipation Bill he used the following language in denial of it : " Allusions have been made to the memory of my Right Hon. Friend, now no more (Mr. Canning), which have been most painful to my feelings. An Hon. Baronet has spoken of the cruel manner in which my Right Hon. Friend was hunted down. Whether the Hon. Baronet was one of those who hunted him down, I know not ; but this I do know, that whoever did join in the inhuman cry which was raised against him, I was not one. I was on terms of the most friendly intimacy with my Right Hon. Friend down even to the day of his death ; and I say with as much sincerity of heart as man can speak, that I wish he was now alive to reap the harvest which he sowed, and to enjoy the triumph which his exertions gained." Having thus furnished the public with means of de ciding on the point recently raised in Parliament as to Sir R. Peel's connexion with the party who are charged with this cruel treatment of Mr. Canning, I shall not make any comments, or draw any conclusions of my own from it, but subscribe myself June 16.

She saw him last alive oil Saturday at noon ; he then appeared more composed than he had been during the previous day. An hour prior, he was seized with a shivering sensation resembling the ague. Wit ness asked him to let her send for medical assistance, which he at first refused, but afterwards he sent her to Mr. Farmer, a chemist, of the Westminster-road, who gave him a mixture, of which he took one dose. Witness then left him, and on her return to his bed-room shortly afterwards silo found the door locked. Having knocked at the door, she said, "It is time, Colonel, to take your medicine." Ile replied, "Aye," a very common expression of his. At five o'clock she heard deceased cough ; and at seven o'clock, on her husband re turning theme, he went to inquire whether he could be of any service to the deceased, but he could get no answer. Their apprehensions becoming excited, the door was forced, and the deceased was found in the position previously described. Mr. William Culverwell, licen tiate of the Apothecaries' Company, said he was sent for to attend the deceased on Saturday night. On his arrival he found deceased dead, at al he had been so some time, probably three or 'four hours. He had no doubt deceased died from natural causes.

None so fitting as he to be your agent; and, through you, the agent of the mother country, and of the great colony of Australia, with that Company, if they will take the contract, on fair and reasonable terms, for, say three or five years, after which retrenchment might, perhaps, be judicially introduced." Lieutenant Waghorn thus proceeds:— " I am perfectly confident that, with a grant from the Crown, a monthly steam communication between Sydney and Singapore, and vice versa, may be entered upon by a private company of merchants, which would be forth coming in the City of London in two or three months. " And now as to the chief end and aim of this address —the amount of the grant. What is it? you will ask. It is 100,0001. per annum; and for that sum a larger equivalent is obtainable, all things considered, than the history of Government bargains with private Companies has yet afforded." Surely the Government will not hesitate to make so small a grant for suck an important object. Once, by establishing steam communication, diminish the distance between England and Australia one-half, and " emigration would flow to Australia, where soil, and climate, and produce, and the currents of traffic, and, in short, every circumstance an intending emigrant should take into account, invite him to settle, and where nothing repels him but the distance and the evils this distance alone occasions. " The link that connects Australia with England by steam will strengthen the relationship between both, in a political as well as a social sense. The internal peace and quiet of such a colony may remain for ever undis turbed, if looked after with a maternal eye at home. No contaminating influences externally can ever operate to the prejudice of England's influence. Australia is es sentially English, and will ever remain so ; and it will do so with mutual credit and profit to England and itself, in proportion as it participates in the onward progress of England's glory and prosperity, by being brought within its sphere by means of steam." The following are additional benefits which would accrue from the establishment of a regular line of steamers between Singapore and Port Jackson : " 1. By establishing steam navigation between Singa pore and Sydney, you at once create in that part of the world a steam navy capable of mounting guns of any calibre when wanted against an enemy, or of transport ing troops to Singapore, and to Hong Kong, China, or Calcutta, as might be needed. " 2. The necessity for fortifications in the South Pa cific and the Indian Ocean would be done away with by these steamers, which would be fortifications in them selves, carrying within them the means of destroying any enemy they might meet with. "3. The navigation of Torres Straits and New Zealand generally is not sufficiently known. Steamers plyine. between Singapore and Port Jackson will easily make the passage. The only diverging difference in the navi gation of these Straits and coast is 160 miles more if you go outside the B arr i er Reefs ; for it may happen that if you went inside you would have so " to an chor at night, and thi s must continue to be the case lighthouses are established on the points , cap es, and pro montories indi ca t e d on t h e accompanying ' map." On this subject of lighthouses, Lieutenant Waghorn strongly recommends the erection on the shores of Torres Straits and on the coast of New Holland of Mr. Bush's patent cast iron lighthouses, diagrams of which are given in the pamphlet, as also a chart of the proposed route.s We hope that Mr. Secretary Gladstone will direct his best attention to this subject, and that a liberal grant_rirt. the establishment of steam communication between gapore and Port Jackson will be proPs ed of Parliament, f or inent during the present sessi on by Governwe are convinced the public money could not be better ap plied th an in securing this important object, and thus developing the vast resources of one of the most impor tant of our colonial possessions.

There is time to consider what we can de to make It as little mischievous as possible, if it should visit us—probably in a Row months. It will be wiser to begin now to keep our persons and houses clean, to preserve our general health by wholesome and Um. perate food and exercise, and by encouraging in our homes a cheer ful tranquillity of mind, than by making a flue when the time comes with white-wash and flannel petticoats, and drugs and new SUE, all tried itt harry and panic.

THE RUSSIAN TARIFF.—The announcement in the Time, of yesterday respecting a contemplated change in the Russian tariff caused a good deal of conversation in the City. Although the concessions proposed are of a nature to attract general attentiOU. they affect so nearly the trading interests of the north of Europe, as to become the sole topic of discui sion in the immediate circles con nected with that branch of business. Any relaxation of duties that could be secured to our merchants from the Government of Knilsit would be gratefully received by those interested in commerce with that part of the world. It was believed in most quarters some few months ago that so soon as our own modified tariff was in a degree developed we might look for some reciprocity from continental neighbours ; but the public were scarcely prepared for such extensive reductions as it seems are likely to follow the establishment of the present tables of the duties of the United Kingdom. The only fear parties engaged in the Russian trade express is, that the change may be so sudden as to interfere with the business of the season at St. Petersburgh, now, it would appear, in full activity. If the change should tarn out to be prespec.. tive, instead of immediate, they will be much better satisfied, as In that case they stand in a position to be prepared for the alteration coining into operation either b e for e or at the comme ncement of the OM/ n th e e xt in s te eas th o gen n's intelli • gence Be this as it may, we can safely vou c h th a t e modification of the Russian tariff o n th e pr i n . ciple explained has everywhere given satisfsietion,—Ti tned &tick. a • at 00 -ci o 0 el eg 14 0 C.. 0 Z.% CP 0 I'D . 0 M 4 al -1 4
