LITERATURE. 114ERVY.N. CLITHE ROE. No. IV. By W. Harrison Ainsworth. It is with peculiar regret that we observe from an a i lconuat , ernent at the close of the present number,.that Mervyn Clitheroe" is interrupted for an indefinite Peri o d by unaeuidable circumstances. 'We lament this interval. in the course of its pnbliCatioo, flaw more Particularly because we regard the, story as pro mising in some respects to he incoinparably the most `delightful of all its author's compositions. Situated as the scene of the narrative is, in a locality familiar to the novelist froin his childhood, he has been enabled to describe it with more than usually graphic colouring, and with more than ordinary admirable exactitude. The various characters introduced, moreover, in the course of the fiction are selected (or some of them, at L e ast, we fed assured) from his household recollections. Beyond which it must be borne in mind that Mr. Aims , Worth has never more conspicuously digplayed his skill as a story-teller than in the openirg chapters of " Mervyn Clitheroe." Always alive to the ne cessity of incident, with a view to rouse the attention And to waken curiosity, he has here crowded the Pages with changes and vicissitudes of a homely cha t aete - r, it is true, but still fraught with a peen liar fascination. The work, of course, has been with out the breathless escapes of " Jack Sheppard," Without the diabolical.- glamour of " Rookwood," Without the occasional excitement lighting up the ' Pages of the " Miser's Diughter." It has nothicg of the pageantry of " Windsor Castle," of the dungeon gloom of the "Tower of London," or of • the Court intrigues of " St. James's." It is without the rapid movement of " Crichton," without the as tounding surprises of " Auriol," and without the grim attraction of the " Lancashire Witches." But notwithstanding all this, home tale as it is, domestic as the dramatis persona are, " Mervyn Clitheroe " has, even in the brief space of four instalments, given' promise of emu lating in merit and equalling in popularity, the best of its author's productions hitherto published. Ye•••, in the midst of this fair promise, at the precise moment When the interest of the reader hid been enkindled to a state of agreeable animation, the course of the story, like that of true love, runs no longer smooth, but, encountering some obstruction or other, becomes t emporarily interrupted. For Mr. Ainsworth's sake, and for the sake of his readers also, we regret this very sincerely, but must resign ourselves quietly to What appears to be unavoidable, only sanguine' that the thread of the narrative will be speedily resumed, and that as it has commenced, so it will terminate— P r osperously. After a nocturnal alarm in the old lam ;moose, and after the body of Uncle Mobberley 7aa'oeen, next day, consigned to the grave, the will -is read, bestowing the whole of the property Malpas Sale and not on Mervyn Clitheroe. There ter come some most exciting interviews between l'e clionah a n d h er husband—the latter interview 2 / 5 1I, 'mg place at mid n ight in the churchyard, followed • •Y a chase across the mere with bloodhounds. See ing that the current number ends most unsatiste.c wrily in all respects—leaving the reader in almost 112 endurable suspense—it is with unusual fervour that ZWe close our present notice of Mervyn Clitheroe with two Words addressed to the author—Au revoir ! EARL GREY AN D SIR HARRY SMITH. TO THE EDITOtt OF THE SUN. 41 ,'" 11 ,-1 hav e a i r . a dy reteat ked that. in his answer to l ed " .. Member f or L am be t h, Lord John Russell acknos , ° 1 :11) , that the dispatch ot the 14th January from 41.1 Grey to Si r H arry bmith bad been sent to him m4ord John), and that he avoided to say whether he had Zhati not read it; but, at the same time, with an ap pearance of great candour, and as if meat anxious ts , atosd every information to the House, his Lordship ssadded, that the recall of Sir Harry Smith had been ap eroved of by the Cabinet. Now this was indeed a ge 111ercoevolunteer!—(his Lordship little thought then that a ll ; rtl hag volunteers would Lure him out)—for his Lord that well knew that the very document of .recall itself, th abominable dispatch of the 14th January, coutainee th ! i nformation his Lordship then wished the House to in k he was giving them, These are the words of the having It is DAy painful duty to inform you, that concocted Consulted my colleagues on the subject, they have "carred with me in coming to the conclusion . s i b,' • that, therefore, we should not be ju stified in vi king from tendering to the Queen our humble ad ; $o l l ce that the government of the Cape of Good Hope a nd x l e condu c t of the war should be placed in other hands." eh !! Was it, then, that Lord John Russell did not give a h at right correct answer to Mr. Williams's question? d -w t right had his Lordship to trifle with the House , t i avoiding an answer to a simple question, and pre adha het ts 9 g to volunteer additional information? or rather ask, what motive his Lordship had? Was this the „s r•L° Per conduct for the Prime Minister of England to wow, h ' However, let that pass now, although it eed not be forgotten—a day of reckoning may yet come; A certain Lord Stanley once, in speaking of e Political tricks of the Whigs, made use of the word O b it:able-rig " Lord John Russell's conduct leoks very rirt e its He no doubt knew, or guessed that very few, ti o " l 'Y. of the Members had read the dispatch in ques NI : , and so he gained the applause of the moment for f ri d our. His Lordship was like a dying patient, suf . 14 ng from acute agony, before mortification takes rem issolution becomes inevitable; and he telt tiktft even only for a moment of repose, though should its to plunge him deeper in his fatal disease. th: we must now proceed with our business of the clay— ta conduct of the Colonial Minister. There is one pa r th: t r aPlT in that famous, or rather infamous dispatch, ks 3„ 11 1) to this moment has passed unnoticed, but not, ti,'llaured, the less cruel or the less unfelt by the sensi ,abeir., Gallant General to whom it was addressed. I fif ss .„ !uIY approach it without a feeling of such intense tur a, M the conduct of Earl Grey as almost incapaci kubt tee for th e tas k I h ave u ndertaken. Surely, Sir, it n et '', he pain and a n gui s h enough for any British ge- Z' to have hi s b ra v e followers, the officers and the tt ud ." B , slestr o y e d by the savages with whom it has been tea: u s c iticky lot to have to contend, without being sh e With their death. Did not Earl Grey consider . to ' Poor Sir Harry had sufficiently telt the loss of the h ea rt officer who died, as a soldier ought to do, at the it i n c ' t ilia regiment—the brave Colonel Fordyce? Was tp, the least necessary that Earl Grey should dwelt 4 11 11 that loss in the manner in which he has dune? His hi t r a ge would almost imply that Sir Harry Smith had 0 4 4: 4 killed poor Fordyce—certainly that he had sa t • r d him, when he ought to have gained him laurels. " 11 1 ' ,.', le aris from these dispatches," says Earl Grey. another month of this distressing warfare has heels and though the force at your disposal had tab eased to a very considerable amount, no advan etie,:' any real importance has been gained over the e xe - 1, while the loss of her Majesty's troops has been 1 4is ee , in gly heavy, that very distinguished officer, th o tl ' e nant-Colonel Fordyce, being included amongst 4 4) who have fallen." e ° ,Cci God I Sir, is a British general to be written to tiara style? Lieutenant-Colonel Fordyce died, Sir, ti n i A P at the head of his regiment, I believe the second ts c he was u n d er fi re . At all events, Sir, had he been ° tlsand and one ti mes under fire, had there not been an other other his equal in liafraria or in Eugland, why should • this Harry Smith have his corpse pointed out to him in i;lasytost remarkable and inhuman manner? Sir Harry sir distinctly diatiaetly told by Earl Grey in that paragraph that he bad had suffi • had.d ment force to do much, and that be nothin worse than nothing that be . h ‘ ad sacrificed t h e live s f h larly one very distill means !hat, Sir, t'r Majesty's troops, and partiou• if is officer. This paragraph well; for before I proceed anything. Remember it of that dispatch of theto remark on the rest flack to consider what his Lord b i l l 4th I must turn P had written a short - time before. The case, Sir, is altogether a most curious but most melancholy one, and I think Ishii.' beclearly . Able tp show that the whole has been 0 4 ; t te h a e u rn iiest a case or -temper, againas:thYisa' ° n per, as ever was known —not another oo u t t h e o r f nlan's bad notions and ill generous and confiding. But I must leave ' 1474 letter. I wish the matter to be fairly and openly canvassed, although I confess that no previous conduct of Sir Ha rry Smith. had it b een found f ault with eve n ' e s, lll d justify the tone and ch aracter of Earl Gr ey's dia.: wat ch a the - 14th of January.--T am, Sir, YOUR CONSTNT READER.

What else is it but simple wickedness to pique and taunt a man back into an error from which he has long since been struggling to escape?. -Mr. Cobden himself betrays the falsity of the premises on wheh he founds these - charg6s of immo rality, when he lets out, in a subsequent passage of his speech, " They are all anxious to get rid of it (Protec tion), no doubt." So this high moral authority manu factures his facts just as it answers his purposes. When he wants to stir the country against the new Ministers, he says they aro really practising to bring back Protection; When he wants to make them out contemptible, he calls Protection a tin kettle tied to their tails, which they wish to get rid rif. Of course we are not objecting to any decided and vigorous policy if cause can be shown for it. Should it appear that the Government will gain ground by forbearance, arid will appeal to the country with a better chance of success in July or August than this or next month, and that, it will appeal on the ground of protection, then compel the earliest possible appeal. We have el.ready given it as our opinion that the brightening prospects of agricul ture will every month weaken the case for protection, and we now find the scarcity so great in the States of the Zollverein that the duties on the importation of corn, flour, and vegetables are sutpeeded by decree till August 31. But this policy, mainly an d compelling w hh without t tub : a uv n tt, r n e t n a o n y et l appeal, tr, s o hLiu vt l ph d ttiieoott:h;ciphienter tainedene ( o.a ; ee the present, and, possibly, also, of the pee Nor !should it be overlooked that if the.apptai be precipi teteti by violence, the war of classes, which has been aimGst slumbering for these two years, may be revived into datigerousetctivity. These considerations enter into the question of policy, for it is not at all clear that when Mr. Cobden urges au immediate settlement of the controvcrey, he is not taking the very course to revive and perpetuate it. We object to no policy which can be proved to be such, so as it be, honest. But we do object to a policy which proceeds upon falsehood. ehich plays upon weakness, which panders to malignity, and which, under the disguise of patriotism, seeks only the iecid , ntel advantages which strife and confusion may possihls bring to its particular authors. lIEB,A.LD.—Mr. Disraeli's admirable address to the electors of _Buckinghamshire describes in a few words the position of the Queen' Ministers in reference to the greet social and economic questions, the advocacy of which unquestionabiy gave to them the position which entitled them to be called to the councils of their sove reign, Their first care, says the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, must be to provide for the exigencies of the puhlic service—but, he adds, that they hope, " at no distant day," to establish those principles which they have advocated in opposition. These words indicate a complete appreciation of the position of the Ministry arid of their dories. They have not been invited to the councils of the Queen because they are Protectionists, because they exercise such an influence in Parliament and the country as to offer a reasonable prospect of their being able to carry on the Government of the country. They owe, indeed, that influence to the fact, that in the schism of 1846 they continued true to the principles upon which the Conservative party was originally consti tuted, and as the reward of that fidelity they now pos tress the " following" of the Conservative portion of the community. It is, nevertheless, true that they have not been called to power by their advocacy of Pro tection. In this respect their position is peculiar, perhaps anomalous. Other parties have succeeded in this country to power, because they advocated some principle for which the country and Parliament had declared, and which, therefore, its advocates were called in administration to carry out. This is not the case with the present occupants of the Treasury bStich. Parliament had not condemned a single principle held by their predecessors—not a single vote had affirmed any one of the maxims of policy upon which the Pro tectionists are at issue with their opponents. The late Ministry fell, not because they were at issue with Par lioment upon any one principle upon which the affairs of the country are to be managed, but because, by per sonal incompetence and internal dissensions, they were incapable of governing the country, even with a Parlia ment that approved of their principles. The Country party have been been invited by their Sovereign to her Cabinet, not because the Parliament demanoed a policy of which they were the representatives, but be cause, in the broken and distracted state of parties, they alone had the elemenes of power suffi cient to give to a Ministry the means of existences — or even to supply to the Sovereign the materials of an administration. The duty of a Cabinet called to direct public affairs under such circumstances, the Chau cellor of the Exchequer has most clearly and forcibly expressed. They are bound, in too first instance, to meet the exigencies of the public service which have induced the Sovereign to appeal to their assistance; after this they are bound to endeavour to impress upon the course of public affairs the principles which they believe essential to the welfare of the country. These duties the Chancellor of the Exchequer promises that the new Ministry will perform. In the performance of the first of them they have a right, let us say, to the they y n— ha in ve a th h e eti l u n a e l v iy ita e b le le ar p r o i t 4 t r p a ou: t e h u e t fo o rh f e t a h r e . cordial and generous support of e v e r y loyal suejtiet of i t e h c e on g d u th e mice and indulgence of their friends. They have " re canted" no declaration—they have altered no opinion— they have abandoned no principle; and Mr. Disraeli promises that at no distant day they will obtain the concurrence of the country in putting into prac tical operation the great principles of policy to which they have committed themselves in opposi tion. To the solemn and deliberate decision of the country the Queen's Ministers refer the determination of the great question of social policy upon which they are at issue with the Free-traders. We say the oeltecrare decision, for it must net be forgotten that Ministers are practising nu surprise. So far from it, the complaint . of their opponents is that they are giving the coun,ry too much time for reflection. Neither do they attempt to disguise the issue which will be submitted to the nation. They neither practise deception nor surprise. They distinctly warn the country of the time and the consequences of the appeal. They give ample limo for preparation for everything that can tend to secure the true expression of the national opinion. There is not a politician in the empire who does not now know that a general election is intended by Ministers at the close of the present seseion, and that, if the new Parliament ex hibit the decision of the country to be in favour of u protec live system, Ministers are prepared to shape their policy in obedience to that. decision. It is not often that a great political question is thus fairly and calmly submitted to the judgment of the nation. The course proposed is one from which only faction can shrink, and which nothing tent political dishonesty can seek to embarrass or interrupt. Those who desire a premature appeal to the country can only do so because they dread its deliberate judgment, and desire to snap, if possible, a declaration of opinion in opposition to the true sentiments of the nation. If we were to sit down to frame the wry method in which the sense of the constituencies of the empire could be fairly, taken on the question of free trade—would it he possible to frame a plan better calculated to attain the object than that which Ministers propose? Would we not say, that, in order fairly to collect the opinion of the country, due notice should be given of the intended appeal to that opinion—that ample time should be given to eve r y constituency to deliberate upon the mode in which it wou ld express its sentiments. But this is the very mode which Ministers propose to adopt, and while they refer to the constitutional decisions of the people at a general elec tion the question of Protection, they ask in the mean time for the support of Parliament in providing for the indispensable exigencies of the public service. These, we take it, are the views pet forward, with singular force of expression, in two sentences of Mr. Disraeli's ad dress, Equally remote from any base abandonment of their own opinions, and any unworthy attempt to force those opinions upon a reluctant country—Ministers man fully avow their principles—candidly acknowledge, that in the present Parliament they ought not to be entorced; and fearlessly and in good faith refer to the decision r of the country, after an interval amply sufficient to s o e f cu e a deliberate expression of opinion, the question re the a _ ultimate triumph of those principles. Sure . we o e ero t_n_! any attempt to interfere with a course so fair, W s he t ma P k e e rate, and so just, will only bring upon tho country is always sure to provoke. it the contempt and indignation which fa s e e tion in this 1 i 8,256 i/ - . 2 - _ ___ _ - THE EXPORT TRA.DE.—According to the monthly accounts relating to trade and navigation (yesterday ' printed) the declared value of British and Irish produce and ! manufactures exported fr,:m the United Kingdom was, in : area ~ 3 i 9 f 840 the month ended the sth February, 4.821,718/.

Clothworker, 6 yrs, 7st .71b, I consider makes the last-named perfectly safe; and although they nearly ran him off his legs last year, he seems to becoming out in good form again. TOM Dawson has three animals in the entries, his own, Mark Tapley, 5 yrs, 7st 61b; Mr. Williams's Chi 4 Justice, 5 yrs, 7st 51h; and Cyclops, 4 yrs, Set 81b. The last-named requires no consideration what ever, as his winning is a perfect impossibility; as to the other two, it does not seem at all clear which they in tend; and, moreover, their chances being so much on .a par, they are sure to be equally successful with either one or the other. Tom is always mystifying the public with his handicap horses; rarely allowing the Simon Pure-to be known until ho can no longer keep it a se cret. The public and stable money are on both; but which carries the larger amount of the latter I am un able to specify. Each stands a very fair chance of running forward in. the race; and it• is not at all impossible but that the winner may be found in one of them, but of this more anon. Tom Taylor has a trio at work at Bretby , in Sir Rowland Trencha r d, 4 yrs, 7st 61b; Herbert, 6rs, Tat lib; and Anima filly, 3 yrs, 4st 91b. The filly'is a perfectly hopeless speculation. Herbert I should fancy would be the pick of the lot, Sir Rowland Trenchard_ having, at the least, half a stone too much on his back. Lord Waterford's Cockcrow, 4 yrs, 7st 61b, is a very un likely starter, as he will, I presume, be reserved for Chester. Jim Rogers has a couple of nominations= Mr. Crawford's Darkie, 5 yrs, let 51b, and Mr. White's Pluck, 3 yrs, sst 21h. Darkie has a few admirers who thtnk him good enough to win on this occasion; but, remembering his exhibition at Newmarket last Octo ber, I cannot recommend him as worthy an invest ment. Saunders s light weight, Pluck, appeared - .in, public once last year, when she ran a dead neat with. Lady Blanche. at Marlborough, for the 10 Sovs. Sweepstakes, and in a deciding heat, beat-the Lady by half a length. She is well bred, being by Venison out of Dauntless; but the course is dreadfully against her and all other three years old. Combatant,6 yrs, 75t, will never do. Mr. Parkinson's Grand Duke, 4 _Tra, 7st, is in my opinion overrated; he was thought goo& enough to win the Goodwood Stakes last year, but he neither did that nor anything else worth doing; and I doubt his accompishiug anything noticeable at Nor thampton. Cohnt Batbyany's aged Jack-in-the Corner may as well remain there. Stebbing has a couple of nag* figuring in the entry, namely, his own Knook Knoll, 4 yrs, Est 10ib, who I believe is not intended for this bout, and Mr. Morris's Haresfoot, 4 yrs, 6st 61b, who will represent their inte rests. Mr. Drew's Ballet Girl, 5 yrs, 6st 31b, has been backed by its owner to win him a tidy little stakes; it being his opinion that she possesses as good a chance as any in the race; and really Est 31b for a five years old, if the animal is at all above the grade of a donkey, ought to oblige her to get somewhere near the mark. Captain Scott's Mayday, 6 yrs, 6st, the identical weight and age of Mrs. Tait when she accomplished the feat of winning the Cesarewitch, will not enable her to go and do like wise. Lurd Cliideu's Harpsichord, 4 yrs, 6st, has such comical legs, that even light weighted as he is, I do not feel inclined to venture the smallest fraction of cash upon his chance; and as his Lordship has a couple of others to represent his interests in this stake, I presume he will trust one of them in preference . , to his musical instrument. The other two are Royalty, 3 yrs, 4st 81b, and Poodle, 3 yrs, 4st 51b; the last-named probably the starter, who, if h e has any running in him, ought to show it on this occasion. Ingratitude (Mr. Magenis's), 4 yrs, sst 81b, is an almost certain runner, but I doubt her powers being good enough to beat her her comp'titors. Blood Royal (Mr. Thompson s) 3 yrs, sst 71b, I know nothing about; and Old Rowley, 3 yrs, ' sst 51b, with the Delia colt, 3 yrs, 4st 121 b; Farmer's ' Boy, 3 yrs, 4st 101 b; Surprise, 3 yrs, 4st 91b, and Virago filly, 3 yrs, 4st, form a light-weighted but hopeless class; Old Rowley, however, much the best. My present im pression is, that CARIBOO, under the guidance of Nat, will be the winner; and that if he is destined to be de feated, it will be by Clothworker, Tom Beltby, or Daw son's ho7se.

THE ST_ lIRBRIDGE AND BROMSGROVE BANKS. The adiourJcilastext.naination of Messrs. Batas and Wragge was resumed this morning. Mr. Powell, barrister, of tho Oxford Circuit, appeared for the assignees ; Mr. T. S. James for the bankrupts; and Mr. El g i e , o Worcester, for various creditors. It appeared, from a short inquiry into the state of the Bromsgrove Bank that when it stopped its debts amounted to 2 27,8261. 9s. 21, to meet which there were only 13;000/. During 11i years Mr. F. Raiford had drawn out of the bank 56,8591. 14s. 10d. The bankrupt (Mr. F. Ruir.N.rd, M.P.) was now ex amined with regard to his S'ev..rate estate. In 1840 he had . , drawn out 21,4 %5 1 ., which he, had spent pan cipally property at Belbronghton, 7i here he re sided. His household and other personal expenses were at the rate of about 3,450/. per ar,ai,-,m, a great portion of which was spent i n travelling. He should fitly one-half. Since the year 1847, then the bask was insolvent, the amounts he had drawn wore greater than previously, but his private expenditure bad been less. Formerly he had received remuneration for the various offices he held in public companies, but of late ho had received none, and that accounted for his having drawn more money than formerly out of the bank. He bad paid in one sum 4,2671. far expenns incurred i n hi s election as Member for the city of °rooster. That was the amount of the agent's bills, but his election alto gether had cost him more. _ His HoNoua l -I suppose there were other expen ses baynnd agent's charges?—The bankrupt replied that there were; his personal expenses during the five days the ele c ti on l aste d m i g h t b e 200/. 1 b u t hi k extra expens es while in Parliament, as Member for Worcester, were not more than 1001. per annum. _ By Mr. ELGIE—At the time he put up for Worcester his account with Glyn's was very satisfactory, and he was told that his election would cost him. only a mode rate amount. If he had known ..that it would coot him 4,0004 or 1,0004 he should not have offered himself. his Hortoutt—A prudent man would havesaid, " Gen tlemen of Worcester ) what do you call a moderate sum? There are many opinions in electioneering as to mode rate expenses?" Mr. ELGIE was anxious to know how the 4,2671. hod expended at Worcester?—The bankrupt replied that he Dever examined the bill sent to him. The purity of elec tion gemlemen began to open houses in the city, and he could not himself say how the money was expended. Mr. Raiford, sen., was allowed to pass without any question being put to him. Mr. Povizia. said it was not.the intention of the as signees to offer any opposition to the bankrupts passing their examination, and they would reserve any observa tion they might feel it their duty to make until the cer tificate meeting. Mr. Exam would not resist the bankrupt passing, but he called ugon his Honour to refuse protection to Mr. F. Rufford. A great deal of money had gone, and the creditors wished to know where it had gone to. He (Mr. Elgie) contended that, according to the 255th section of the Bankruptcy Act, inasmuch as the bankrupt, in the management of the Bromsgrove Bank, had kept his books imperfectly, carelessly, and negligently, with the intent to conceal the true state of his affairs, be was not entitled to protection. It was found that for several years no less a sum than 100,000/. had never been posted, until the bankruptcy, and this could have been for no other reason than to conceal the state of his affairs from the parties in the bank: Mr. JAMES, on the other hand, contended that the real meaning of the clause to which Mr. Elgie referred was an intention on the part of a bankrupt to perma nently mislead and prevent the true state of his affairs ever being made known to his creditors. Now here there was no concealment. The creditors were made fully acquainted with the bankrupt's affairs. There might have been some irregularity, but there was no concealment. His HONOUR concurred in the ♦iews expressed by Mr. James, and allowed the baskrupt to pass. SUBM A RIN E ELEGRAPH. Ou Monday last, by permission of the directors of the submarine telegraph between England and France, a se ries of interesting experiments -none made by Mr. Reid, telegraph engineer, of Universit)-street, London, for the purpose of testing a pair of double-nee de instruments and two new batteries which he had constructed. One of these instruments was placediii the eompeny'e offices at Dover, and the other in the F, etch office at Calais, with a battery to each. Two of the submarine wires were then connected with the instruments, and put is circuit with the batteries. The length of the submerhac cable in the Channel is about 24 miles, and ebout five miles of land telegraph on each attic, making in round numbers a circuit of 68 miles. The battery teat was to work this distance formed a strong contrast to the present- buttery- now-4w we,. the length- being-only 4 inches by lf deep, and the weight 11b. 5 rz., while the old common battery used on the lines is 36 inches long, 7f inches wide, 8f inches deep, and weighs , 641 b. Some of the telgraph clerks in the office smiled incredulously when Mr. Reid connected the miniature battery with the instrument, but were surprised to find the signals to and from Dover and Calais quite equal to the nignals they were receiving from their former nattrriei. The next experiment was for the purpose of testing an improvement in the doub!e needle instrument, and will require the utmost stretch of faith on the part of our readers to believe. It was as tallowe:—The miniature batteries were removed from the instruments on each :side of the Channel, and tt piece of zinc, three-fourths of an inch square, and a piece of silver to correspond, were then introduced into the month of the operator at the office in Dover, and instruc tions sent to do the same at Callie. The wires, at.. niched to these pieces of metal were then connected with the instruments, and by this simple means. and by the simplest of all batteries, the telegraph clerks sent several messages to and fro from England to France. The next experiment was similar to this, only larger piece et z:no and a larger piece of silver were in troduced into the mouth of the operator. The result was an improvement of the signals. These experiments were witnessed on the Dover side by Captain Belden+, RN., Major Hammond, and by Messrs. Cheshi,e, Ed oornr s the directorF re n c h of side Frenchby M telegraphs; I.

A nu mber of other t charges of a trifling kind were a t th e s a me time .brough against other sea men , b ut t h e two former were reman ded for further examination, and in the other cases small penalties were imposed. Tai IMPORTSRS OF COTTON.—Last year the im porters of cotton lost large sums of money; this year they are clearing from a halfpenny to three farthings a pound, or from 20s. to 30a. per bale. When you multiply these gains by a million, or a million and a halt; they become something considerable. This great interest never was in a more satis factory state than it is at present.
