According to ... unication it appears that in 1845 a disp a t c h Was Z ' i f' i'''' d",,at the Court of St. James's as the United ~! ' fi lr ' 'mbassador. In that dispatch, moreover, was 1 ,:. , Nr . ,. ~. ~.,, 'TT *r i t io ,_ 4 ( I to the American Republic a note from .-- t.ly.Ars'‘ _ iv Og RDEE „ Go ' :. _ , ,:yt i T ad _,-, t o the effect that the British Go 7tirPW:ylciW •• or _rme to the determination of conceding I\ ..4, - 5 ›ts../i . ... 5t -, " 1- n °I the u - • 4,• , , ,- ,I 's)nng, their avocations 5 Pa rated States the right of within the Bay of Fundy the Foreign Secretary of England actually going Put of his way to select that very spot ftOLEI among i the whole of our North American fisheries. Nobody ventures to gainsay the veracity of this declaration. Mr. EVERETT'S dispatch is admitted. Lord ABER DEEN'S note is admitted. Mr. WEBSTER'S disclosure is accepted (so far as it goes) as conclusive and unanswerable. But what does all this de monstrate ? How far does it prove that Lord MALMESBURY has acted unjustly towards the United States ? Where are the " rights" in vaded ? Where—to come to the point at once—are the " concessions" said to have been shamefully set aside by her MAJESTY'S Government ? Lord ABER DEEN'S note of 1845 certainly speaks of concessions — and goes so far even as to speak of particular ones having reference to the Bay of Fundy—but he speaks of them at the best as merely in contemplation. Against this hint of a scheme entertained by the then existing Cabinet, the DERBY Administration can adduce a solemn and ratified series of stipulations. Against the note of 1845, Mi nisters can oppose the Treaty of 1818. Against the assurance of Lord ABERDEEN that her MAJESTY'S Government was disposed to con cede to American fishermen the right of pursuing their occupations in the Bay of Fundy, Lord MALMESEURY can bring forward the words of the memorable paper already specified, showing that the Americans are expressly debarred from the right of fishing within three marine miles of any of the coasts, bays, creeks, or harbours of the British dominions ! Justice compels U 3 to put the facts plainly be n f o o t re be theany grosspublic,or men lamentable misapprehension. order that there may We leav e it to the apologists of the present Foreign Secretary to show that he has acted in this matter judiciously by seizing the vessels of the United States' fishermen without first an nouncing his intention to the United States' Go vernment. For ourselves—as altogether apart from the present Ministry —we are content to insist upon the recognition of the facts of the case, so far as they demonstrate the reality of those rights which have recently been insisted upon by the Noble Earl at the head of the Foreign Department. It has so happened with the Earl of MALmEsßunv that his pr ocee di ngs h ave b een carped at more than those of any other among the principal members of the DERBY Government. First of all he was vilified for the course pursued by him in regard to the MATHER Question : and now he is condemned yet more loudly for the manner in which he has con ducted these proceedings in reference to the Question about the Fisheries. In this there really appears to us a rather glaring inconsistency. It is nothing less than the old Satyr fable again —the blowing hot and the blowing cold in a ruthless mood of by no means discriminating condemnation. When the Earl of MAL.. MESBURY acted without vigour—in the MATHER Question—he was condemned as too " weak." When he acts with vigour—in the Fisheries Question—he is condemned as too " strong." It is said that he conceded too much in the first case, and that he con ceded too little in the second. Really, in speaking thus, the depreciatory of the Foreign Secretary seem plainly to evince their determination never to be satisfied at all, no matter what may be the policy adventured upon by the Earl of DERBY'S Government. Against such a course we must, for one, at least, protest with all the earnestness of indignation. We must protest against it as both unjust and as un generous—unjust to the Earl of MALMESBURY and ungenerous to the Earl of DERBY'S Administration. That Administration, let it be recollected, was formed abruptly in February as a Cabinet of Emer gency. England was at the time surprised by the unexpected RUSSELL Resignation. The Whigs sud denly left office in the sulks—disgusted and dismayed by the defeat hurled down upon their heads with such summary vengeance by Viscount PALMERSTON. Her MAJESTY, placed in a somewhat embarrassing position just at the commencement of the Parliamen tary session, sent for the Earl of DERBY to under- take, at a few hours' warning, the formation of a new Government. Viewing the situation of his SOVEREIGN, viewing the conduct of the Whigs, viewing the necessity of the times and the require ments of the country—Lord DERBY at once boldly undertook to construct a new Cabinet, not withstanding all these discouraging and disadvanta geous circumstances. Such was the difficulty of his undertaking that, in order to form any administration whatever, he was compelled to gaztte in one day no less than eighteen new Privy Councillors. Imme diately the Cabinet was thus arranged, a certain sec tion of the ex-Ministers, aided by their personal fol lowers, commenced what we protested against from the first moment as an unjustifiable and (as we were the earliest to call it) a manifestly " factious opposition." Upon the utter absence of anything like magnanimity in those proceedings of the Oppo sition we enlarged for a considerable period, until the factious course was at last abandoned and a more honourable mode of action adopted towards the DERBY Government. Again we o b serve th i s factious c o urse reviving—but this time having exclusive reference to the Noble Earl the Foreign Secretary. Again, ther e f ore, we pro test against it as unjust and ungenerous, and, therefore, the me m b ers o f h er a s wholly unworthy of MAJESTY'S Opposition. One simple act on the part of the DERBY Cabinet may effectually prevent the recurrence of these fac tious proceedings on the part o f their antagonists. Let the present Ministers manfully avow their in tended policy on the assembling in October, or at the latest in November, of the newly-elected Parliament. Let them then boldly declare themselves as in the v;. - in of the great onward movement, and they will at once secure the confidence of the nation, and become consolidated into a strong Government. They have withstood the Scylla of a Parlia men t ary S ess i on, they have triumphed already over the Cyclopian attacks of an infuriated OppcFition. To their ranks, therefore, Lord DERBY might speak in the language of Virgil : " Voset Scyllxian rabioni, penitnsquo sonantes Accestis scopulos: V 0 .3 et Cye!opia aura m Experti: revocate umos, rccestumque timorem Mittite: forsan et Lze3 ohm mflminisse juvo.bit.

Th e evils complained of arise ent ir ely out of the closing o f th e during the greater p art Accountant-Ge n eral's dice of the l ong vacat i on. Th e cor respondent referred t o, I have a poor thus tersely ill us t ra t es hi s p oi nt : ' relation who i s ent i t l e d un d er an order of the Court of Chancery t o an annu i ty of about 4 0/ .1 payable 2 half-yearly, on th e 24th of February, and the 4th of August, but for the p ayment which becomes due on the 24th of August s h e h as every year to wait till the 2d of November. I have also a cousin who is en titled to a rent of about 2501., which the Accountant • General was, some years ago, ordered to pay him by quarterly payments on the four usual days; but he has always to wait till the 21 of Novemhar for the payment which becomes due on the 29th of September. I am myself entitled b the dividends of some Reduced Annuities, which, if the fund were not in Chancery, I could receive at the Bank on the 10th or Plth ofovena- Octobe r , b ut now I must wait till the 2d of N ber befor e I can get them." In compliance with long established routine, th e CSAIICELLOR annually issues a general order for closing the Accountant.G ezier4 , 4 _ . QfLe from the 19th of August till the 28th of October (which, for all purposes of real business, means the 2d of November, the first day of Michaelmas term), and the reasons for issuing such order are stated on the face of it in the following recital "Whereas, it is proper that the accounts kept by the Accountant-General of this Court should he examined and compared in order to settle the same. And whereas it will require considerable time to perfect such exami nation, and it is necessary that a time should be ap pointed for closing the books of the Accountant-General for the purposes aforesaid" We have seen what inconvenience this causes, as far as the public are concerned. We have yet to learn that it is necessary or indispensable. We should like (being fond of examining natural curiosities) to behold the man, not in, or fitted for a lunatic asylum, who will seriously contend that there is the slightest necessity for this ten weeks' closing of the office. A large and very experienced staff of clerks is main tained therein, at the public expense ; the Accoun tant-General himself (a favoured and fortunate Rus sun) receives an annual income of some fifteen hundreds of sterling pounds for the nominal surveil lance of thesenumerous clerks, and surely be must very inadequately or carelessly verform his duty, if he does not see that the accounts are accurately kept, the balances frequently struck, and the books fully entered up. The Manager of a Bank would see this done, as a matter of course, and there is no reason whatever why the Accountant-General should so far neglect it that his office must be ten weeks shut up " to examine and compare" the accounts, "in order to settle the same." There would be a good deal of public sympathy, Re doubt not, were it believed that, during these tEn weeks, Mr. Accountant-General RUSSELL and las numerous and clerkly satellites were continuously It work on the accounts without intermission. ThEy are differently employed, and rather more pleasuraby. The time taken "to examine and compare," with a view " to settle" the accounts, need not, and does EA, exceed two out of the ten weeks. The truth is, the recess is the holiday time of the Accountant's-office. Let the clerks have relaxation by all means. " All work and no play" never served any 0133 ; but do not let the public be inconvenienced by the clerks' recreation. In most of the other publiz offices a certain number of clerks are always on duty, and a certain number, in turn, taking their month's leave of absence. Let the clerks have their holidays, but do not let them, under the fiction of performing heavy duties, inconvenience the public by taking then all at once. The same evil extends to the office of the Ac countant-General in Bankruptcy, and there also under an order from the LORD CHANCELLOR. From the 12th of August until the 4th of October there is a total cessation of the usual business of tha; office. Whoever may receive a dividend warrant luring the next seven or eight weeks, no matter how much he may require the money, cannot have it cashed, because the office of the Accountant-General in Bankruptcy will be closed during that time. In both cases th e gr i e vance is great. It is conso latory to know th a t th e remedy may be exceedingly prompt and simple—it is only for the LORD CHAx. CELLOR to direct that both offices shall be open all the year round, and the clerks may still have their holidays, only they must not take them et once. Fancy what a check would be given to publ c busi ness if a Treasury m i n ute directed the o ffi ce o f the Accountant-General of the Customs to be cbsed for a couple of months, &c. ! Not more absurd is the Chancery and Bankruptcy closing. The evils complained of can be removed with a single stroke of the LORD CHANCELLOR'S pee. They will be removed, we doubt not, if his Lordship's at tention be once drawn to them. Lord ST. ;LEONARDS is eminently a practical man; he proved himself such while presiding in the Irish Court of Chancery, long before he sat on the Woolsack her e . I t i s un derstood, indeed, reasonably expected, t h a t new rulesanand, orders in Chancery—rendered necessary to suit the altered practice conseqnent on the recent Reforms—will be issued at the close of the long vacation. They will, probably, am en d th e mal practice in the offices of the Accountant-Generals in Chancery and Bankruptcy. At the same time, it is to be hoped, the public may receive the long-delayed and much-required rules and orders which ought to have been issued when the Bankrupt Laws Consolidation Act of 1849 came into operation. As thiege now are, in Bankruptcy, a new vehicle is running in old, much-patched, and cumbrous harness, which dees often greatly impede its proper progress. But, though a set of new rules and orders were drawn up, the illness of Chancellor COTTENHAM prevented their being formally revised and issued. His successor was too hazy, in politics and law, to give them his imprimatur —particularly as it is pos sible his shrewd mind detected many inconsistencies in them. We speak the opinion of the profession when we say that the present rules and orders in Bankruptcy do not advance the interests of creditors or facilitate the smooth working of the law. Lord ST. LEOZIARDS, amid the many recent law reforms to which he has stood sponsor, if not actually parent, has scarcely done anything better than his substitution ,(by the 15th and 16th Victoria, cap. 73) of salaries instead of fees in the Common Law Courts. There are many reasons why public officers should have fixed incomes. A certainty is better than a fluctuation of income, for no man with an uncertain and fluctuating income can know how to square his annual expenditure. We trust that this most whole some reform may be carried not only into the Common Law Courts but into the Bankruptcy Courts, in which the official assignees and the messengers are still remunerated only by fees. The misfortune is, also, that under the pre sent system, while there is a fixed scale for the fees payable to the messengers, the official as signee —who is actually the treasurer of the court, and ranks next to the Judge —is payable only ac cording as the Judge may think fit. Incredible as this may appear, it is the fact. The law leaves the Commissioner arbitrarily to fix and declare in each case what the official assignee's remuneration may be ! Thus, the income of an officer of such trust, that he gives security for 6,0001., depends on the liberality, the meanness, the temper, or the caprice of the Judge ! If payments by fees be continued in this case, the amount should, by the LORD CHAN CELLOR, be fixed and determined, as, indeed, the Lord Justices of Appeal strongly and publicly recom. mended last spring. At present, just as the Com• missioner pleases, the official assignee may have 2001 or 1,500/. a year. By far the better way would be to reduce the number of official assignees, leaving one to each court as treasurer ; to have only one court in a town, except in London ; to pay the official assignees by salaries commensurate with the responsibilities they are under, the duties they perform, and the average incomes of the whole bcJy during the last seven years. A per-centage on the amounts received and divided in each estste would be less burthensome on creditors than the present system, and would amply provide fur the official assignees who would retire, as well as for the salaries of those who would remain.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday w ere estimated at 6,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were taken for export, and 1,000 on speculation. The market was tame but steady. The sales comprised 5,000 American, 20 Bahia at 6P., 300 Egyptian at 6d. to 110., and 500 Surat at 31d. to 441. per lb.—ln Railway Shares a good business was done, but at lower prices. There are two or three arrivals from Van Diemen's Land and Sydney, but the dates are not later. At Amsterdam on the 9th inst. Dutch Stock was rather in demand and firmer. Spanish Bonds rose a little. Bills upon the Continental cities were negotiated yes terday afternoon at full rates generally. Amsterdam, however, was an exception, being 12 oi. to 1. Ninety days' payer on the other places was taken at 25 471 to 50 for Paris, 13 9/ to 1 for Hamburgh, 121,i to I for Frankfort and 12 6 to 12 10 for Trieste. The deputation which waited upon Lord Malmesbury to represent the grievances of the Mexican Bondholders were very courteously received, and will have the co operation of our Government in pressing their just claims upon President Arista and the Congres.s. The time has certainly arrived when further to delay would be to jeopardize the large annual amount at stake, and if the holders on the continent, and especially Hol land, assist as they should, we shall no doubt find that an impression will be made upon even the insensible members of Congress. Mexico cannot afford to offend England with the United States ever ready to take ad vantage of her troubles. It was expected that as settling-day in the English Stock Market approached there would be a greater reaction in prices, forced by the speculators for a fall, and assisted by fortuitous cir cumstances, such as the unfavourable intelligence from the Cape of Good Hope, the unsettled weather, and the fishery dispute. Moreover, it was presumed, and perhaps not erroneously, that the operators for a rise had been dealing too largely, and had bought more than they could take up. It remains to be seen, however, whether the Bears have not within the last week or ten days sold so as to turn the balance.
