MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 to 6,000 bales. The market was quiet, but there was no change in prices. American realised 31d. to 51d. per lb. Railway Shares were flat," and prices were lower. There was rather a better feeling afterwards. The accounts from Ireland absolutely check all dispo sition to attend to any other matters, and there is con siderable excitement. Some exaggeration has no doubt been practised in the transmission of the accounts, but to a certain extent they are presumed to be true. It is to be hoped parties will keep themselves free of undue apprehension, and endeavour to allay any alarm, espe cially in so far as the money market is concerned. The banks are strongly fortified both here and in Ireland with reserves of specie, and we trust will not be called upon to refund deposits to any extent, as the knowledge of their firm position should give confidence. The accounts from Paris seem to favour the impres sion that intervention in the, affairs of Italy by France was contemplated. The commercial markets are much affected by the political excitement, but fine weather will be in their favour. The English Funds have been extremely fluctuating. Consols have been quoted 86 to 861, then 851 to 86, and are now 851 i t . Exchequer•bills have been 28s. to 325. premium, and India Bonds 275. to 345. premium. Bank Stock is 196 to 1971.

THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK V. THE KING OF HANOVER. The further arguments in this important appeal, which commenced on Tuesday, were resumed this morning, and occupied their Lordships the whole day. The case came before their Lordships upon an appeal against an order of the Master of the Rolls, by which a suit instituted by the Duke of Brunswick against his Majesty the King of Hanover was dismissed. The following may be stated as a succinct summary of the case. The Bill was filed by Charles Frederick William Augustus, formerly the reigning Duke of Brunswick, against the King of Hanover, who was sued by the name of his Royal,Highness Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale in Great Britain, and Earl of Armagh in Ireland. The bill prayed that it might be declared that a certain instrument dated the 6th of February and the 14th of March, 1833, and the appointment of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge as guardian of the fortune and property of the plaintiff thereby purported to be made, and of the persons purported to be appointed adminis trators and managers under him, and the subsequent ap pointment of the defendant as such guardian, were void, and that the defendant was liable to account to the plaintiff for the personal estate and other property re ceived by him under the defendant since his appointment as guardian, by virtue of the instrument, including the estate and effects, paid or accounted for to the defendant by the Duke of Cambridge, and that such accounts might be accordingly taken. The bill stated, that in the year 1830 the plaintiff was the reigning Duke of the duchy of Brunswick, and was in his private cha racter or capacity possessed of real and personal pro perty in Brunswick, England, France, and elsewhere in Europe to a very considerable amount; that the duchy of Brunswick bordered on the kingdom of Han over, and that in the month of September, 1830, his late Majesty William IV. was King of Hanover, and his Royal Highness Adolphus Frederick Duke of Cam bridge was Viceroy of Hanover, acting under the authority of his late Majesty William the Fourth. That pending a revolutionary movement in Brunswick, a decree of the Germanic Diet of Confederation was made, on the 2d of December, 1830, whereby the plaintiff's brother, William, Duke of Brunswick, was invited to take on himself provisionally the government of the duchy, and that in February, 1831, King William the Fourth and William Duke of Brunswick, claiming to be the legitimate agnati of the plaintiff, caused to be pub lished a declaration, whereby they purported to dethrone the plaintiff from the throne of the duchy, and declared that the throne had passed to Duke William; and that after this declaration was made it was signed by their syal Highnesses the Duke of Cumberland (the present defendant), the Duke of Cambridge, and the Duke of Sussex; and that in pursuance of the declaration, William Duke of Brunswick took upon himself the government of the duchy, and he had ever since exercised the rights, powers, and authorities of Sovereign Duke of Brunswick. The Bill then proceeded to state, that early in the year 1833, an instrument in writing, dated the 6th of February and the 14th of March in that year, signed by King William IV., and by William Duke of Brunswick, was promulgated by them—that the Duke of Cambridge, though this in strument was absolutely void, accepted the appointment of supreme guardian of the plaintiff's fortune and pro perty, took possession of the real estates to which he was entitled in his :private capacity at Brunswick, and of all such parts of the plaintiff's property in Bruns wick and elsewhere, of a personal nature, as he could discover, to the amount of several hundred thousand pounds; that he sold and converted several parts thereof into money, and made payments on account of the plain tiff, and of his property ; but that after allowing for such payments there remained in his hands a very large surplus unaccounted for ; that King William IV. died on the 28th (20th) of June, 1837, and thereupon the pre sent defendant became King of Hanover, and the Duke of Cambridge having resigned his appointment of guar dian by an instrument in writing, to which the defen dant was a party, and which was signed by him and by William Duke of Brunswick, the defendant purported to be appointed guardian of plaintiff, and of his fortune and property, in the place of the Duke of Cambridge, and with all the same powers and authorities as had been purported to be conferred on the Duke of Cambridge. That the Duke of Cambridge accounted for his receipts and payments to the defendant, and paid him the balance, and the defendant took possession of the plaintiff's pro perty, and had received large sums of money on account thereof, and had thereout made some payments on ac count of the plaintiff; but that a very large balance, to the amount of several thousand pounds, remained due from the defendant to the plaintiff on account thereof; and that the defendant refused to account. The bill charged, that the instrument of the 6th of February, and the 14th of March, 1833, and the appointment of the Duke of Cambridge as guardian, and the appointment of the defendant as guardian, were wholly invalid, ac cording to the laws of Brunswick, Hanover, and Great Britain; but that under colour thereof, the Duke of Cam bridge and the defendant took possession of the plain tiff's property on his behalf, and not adversely; that by the law of England such appointments of guardians, and all the rights thereby purported to be given, are void, even if the same were valid by the law of Brunswick; and that if the same were valid at the time when they were issued, having regard to the circumstances and situation of the plaintiff at that time, there was now nothing in the circumstances or conduct or state of mind of the plaintiff to debar him from the full right and power of enjoy ment and disposition of his property. There was a charge that the receipts and payments by the Duke of Cambridge and the defendant respectively, on account of the plaintiff, and the management of his property, constituted a mutual account, with items as well as on the debit as on the credit side thereof; that such ac count was still open and running, and was of an intricate and complex nature, and could only be taken in a court of equity. The defendant demurred to this bill, on the ground of want of jurisdiction, and the following were amongst the principal propositions advanced on behalf of the defendant:—First, he was by the bill admitted to be King of Hanover, a sovereign prince, recognised as such by the Crown of England. As a sovereign prince, his person was inviolable, and he was not liable to be sued in any court. Second, the in violability of a sovereign prince was not confined to his own dominions, but attended him everywhere; so that though a king might be personally in a foreign kingdom, :yet he was to be judged, in law, a king there; that his inviolability was not affected by his being temporarily resident in a foreign kingdom, even if he was a subject of such a kingdom, but that he still re tained his character of an independent sovereign prince; that the defendant was not the less a sovereign prince, and not the less exempt from being sued in any court here, merely because he was a subject et even of the Queen the and a Peer of the rea lm of England. Di if de fendant should be held liable to be sued for some things in this country, he ought not to be held liable, to be sued which was alleged to be matter of state, and not matter • jurisdiction; and finally, it was contended, in respect of the particular subject matter of this suit, of forensic 9 that even if the defendant should be held liable to be sued here, and if the subject matter of the suit should be held to be matter of for ensic jurisdiction, yet that it was not matter subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery, but was matter which must be deemed to be subject to the jurisdiction of some court of special and peculiar jurisdiction, such as in this country were proceedings arising in lunacy, bankruptcy, and various other matters, which, although proper sub jects of forensic jurisdiction, could only be adjudi dicated upon in courts specially appointed for the purpose. On the other hand, the following were amongst the principal propositions advanced in support of the Bill on behalf of the plaintiff:—First, it was said that this ought to be considered as an ordinary suit between sub ject and subject. The plaintiff and the defendants were lineal descendants of the- Princess Sophia, Electress and Duchess Dowager of Hanover, and as such were, to all intents and purposes, to be deemed natural-born subjects of this realm. The plaintiff was domiciled here. The defendant was born here, was an English Peer, and had taken the oath of allegiance. Secondly, that no English subject could withdraw from his allegiance and subjec tion to the law of the land. His becoming the sovereign prince of another country could make no difference in this respect ; he remained an English subject, and scat bound to obey the laws of England. Thirdly, the law of England afforded no authority for the proposition that i ca nn , atiinon whic hcame n i t t sovereign princes resident here might not be sued in the re se courts Calvin's here, and there were dicta to the contrary, as in w o E a n s g England that the if leave a k king of a fog of the king of this realm (as it ought to be) in this case he shall sue and be sued by the name of a king; and it had been reported that in the case of De la. Torre v. Ber nales, Sir John Leach stated it to be his opinion that in t sovereigns could both sue and b e sued his country. In support of this proposition reference was made to proceedings in which John Balto . 1 , King of Scotland, was summoned to answer charges made against him in the Court of Edward 1., King of England; and to proceed ings in which Edward 1., King of England, was sum moned to answer charges made against him in the Court of Philip le Bel, King of France, at Paris. For the de fendant these cases were attempted to be distinguished from the present on the ground that the proceedings were respectively adopted in virtue of and for the purpose of enforcing the superiority which Edward I. claimed to have over the kingdom of Scotland, and the superiority which the King of France had over the province of Guienne, which Edward I. held in fealty to him. Fourthly,. liability to the suit, it was said, did not ne cessarily involve liability to coercion ; the defendant, as an_ English Peer, was by privilege protected from per sonal coercion ; and even if a sovereign prince, without such peculiar privilege, was a defendant here, this court had power so to modify its process as at the same time to do justice to the plaintiff and have due regard to the person and dignity of tha defendant. Fifthly, it was said that the law of nations, the general law, and the common interests of all mankind were. that justice should be done all over the world. The right of a suitor here vtas not to be impeded by the assertion of an unrecognised privilege in any person against whom he had a legal demand. Sixthly, the Queer. of England was liable to be sued in a proper form—a form not ap- Ocable to a foreign sovereign ; but if a foreign sove reign were not liable to be sued here at all, he would be placed in a better situation than our own Sovereign, which, it was said, would be absurd. To the bill filed by the plaintiff a demurrer was put in by the King of Hanover, on which the question raised was whether under the circumstances of the case, and as against a Sovereign Prince who was and is in England a subket of the Queen of this country, a Court of England had jurisdiction. The Master of the Rolls, upon the demur rer being argued before him, was of opinion that the. alleged acts and transactions of the defendant, the King of Hanover, under colour or under the authority of the instrument, questions were not acts and transactions, in respect of which the defendant, the King of Hanover, was liable to be sued in a Court of Equity, or in respect of which the Court had any jurisdiction. The Master of the Rolls being of that opinion allowed the demurrer, and from that judgment the present appeal was brought. Mr. RoLT resumed his arguments this morning on behalf of the appellant the Duke of Brunswick. The case appears likely to occupy several days. Nothing of any interest came before the Rolls Court, or any of the Vice-Chancellors' Courts to-day. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) THE SALISBURY BANK.—IN RE BRODIE AND BRODIE. These bunkers, who had carried on business as bankers at Salisbury under the firm of the Salisbury Bank, came up to-day for their certificates. Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Gifford appeared to support the application, and none of the creditors opposed. His HONOUR (who sat for Mr. Commissioner Evans), after reading the report, said that it appeared that the parties had been insolvent a long time betore their bank ruptcy. Mr. LAWRENCE said it was a very old concern, and the loses had been very great, but he was confident that there was no imputation on the integrity of the bank rupt, His HONOUR said as none of the creditors appeared to oppose, he felt himself justified in granting the certifi cate; but at the same time he wished it to be understood that he did not consider the state of affairs altogether satisfactory. The certificates were then signed. SHERIFFS' COURT.---(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCIIELL.) TIM EARL OF LINDSAY V. CAPPER AND OTHERS. This was an action to recover damages from breach of covenant. The plaintiff is the Right Honourable the Earl of Lindsay, and the defendants *ere the provisional committee of the Great Northern Railway. The amount claimed ry ir. m was 1 6 v , A 0 R O D O and interest. in t t h e e plaintiff, rest stated the case, from which it appeared that during the contest be tween the Direct Northern Railway and the Great Northern Railway, an agreement was entered into between the Direct Northern Company and the Earl of Lindsay, by which they undertook, in con sideration of his withdrawing opposition to their line, to pay him 25.0001., supposing they took twenty acres near to the Noble Earl's seat at Uffington Hall. In another event he was to be paid 20,000/., and in the event which had come to pass, namely, the amalgamation of the companies, and the railroad taking another course through his lands, he was to be paid 6,0001., the amount now claimed. It was contended that the Great Northern Company were bound to take up all the agreements entered into by the Direct Northern Com pany. An action had been brought to try that question, • which had been carried by writ of error into the House of Lords. It was, however, necessary in this case to come before the jury to get a judgment. The deed was put in and read. Mr. STOAT, for the defendants, said that the real point in dispute was as to the amount of interest, and from what time it could be claimed, as there was no mention of interest in the deed. Under the Act, four per cent. was the rate of interest to be paid to creditors of the company. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said that he considered the jury might give interest if they thought proper, and it could be given from a certain day, namely, from three months after the passing the Bill up to the present time. The question as to whether interest should be allowed or not was, in the absence of any agreement, entirely one for the jury in estimating damages. The jury retired for a considerable time, then gave a verdict for 6,300 L, being at the rate of 3 per cent. interest. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) Thomas Strange and Edward Clarke, middle-aged men, were charged before Mr. Combo with burglariously entering the dwelling-house of John Brown, in Feathers mews, Milman-street, Brunswick -square. It appeared that Mr. Brown having some reason to suspect that " plant was set" to rob his house, placed Peter Keen, his horsekeeper, in the stable on Tuesday evening to watch. About one o'clock, the two prisoners came to the private door, 'and one of them put a key .into the lock, and having turned it partly round, withdrew it, and they went away without attempting to enter the premises. Last evening, about the same hour, Keen was again on the watch in the stable, and saw the prisoners approach the private door. He concealed himself under the stair case, and heard them unlock the door, and saw them come in and go up stairs to the private apartments. He then called the police, who found the prisoners at the foot of the stairs, near the door. They had heard Keen give the alarm, and thought to make their escape, but he had successfully fastened them in, and they were cap • Lured without resistance. On the table in Mr. Brown's sleeping apartment, into which the servant had seen them go, was found a complete set of house-breaking imple ments. Strange had also left behind a handsome silver snuff-box, having his name engraved in full. Upon his person were found a valuable watch and chain, and a purse containing twenty-six sovereigns and a half-sovereign, with four shillings in silver. Both prisoners are in good circumstances, and Strange is a cab proprietor, having six drivers in his employment.—Committed.

The weather was again wretchedly unfavourable; fre quent heavy showers, with a high wind and a thick mist, offering but small inducement to those who were not staying in the itnmeliate neighbourhood. The attend ance, therefore, although much larger than on the first day, was not by any means so numerous as we have usually seen on the Goodwood Stakes day. The racing, which was excellent, was again remarkable for the over throw of the favourites—amongst them The Hero, who could not run through the mud, and was beaten cleverly by a horse who would have no chance with him ont? ,, _ ground.

The man Banner, who had aeteal as his porter, had been previously discharged. Constable Keogh stated that he had seized a number more pikes shafted awl some cutlasses, in the stable of a wheelwright, in Vauxhall-road. John Dickenson, foreman to the wheel wright, proved that the articles had been brought there by the prisoner Cuddy, in connexion with the notorious Dr. Reynolds. • The prisoner was again remanded. A correspondent says—" Everything continues perfectly tranquil here, and the camp is being formed at Everton. Last night the police visited the lodgings of Dr. Rey nolds, but discovered that the doctor had decamped, leaving behind him a small quantity of arms and ammu nition."

The impartiality of the historian is almost invariably called in question. If he evince any enthusiasm for his theme his revelations are re garded as the utterances of a partizan ; if, on the other hand, he do full justice to the iniquities with which his historical researches have mode him acquainted, he is forthwith assailed as a calumniates, and if, again, (rare miracle !) the historian be impartial, his popularity will in consequence be rather dimi nished than increased, for in that case all parties will most probably unite in censuring him. The reason for this apparent injustice is very simple. The his torian has invariably to contend with some forgone conclusion in the minds of the majority of his readers ; he attacks their prejudices, and they impugn his historical probity. If such be the invidious accompaniments of the authorship of history, generally speaking, how immeasurably must their invidious character be augmented in the case of him who shall attempt to write the history of the Jesuits ! The Jesuits, than whom no body of men have been the objects f greater adula tion or greater contumely. Every individual who has taken up a pen or opened his lips in their cause has been either a panegyrist or a traducer. Hence the impartial observer finds it impossible to form a correct estimate regarding the company of Jesus. This extraordinary society, as manifested to us by the double revelations of the zealous enthusiast and the rancorous opponent, now elicits our admira tion and now our indignant horror, and always our interest, and always—always—our astonishment. A true and trustworthy history of such a body would perhaps constitute the greatest boon which an histo rian could confer on the human race; a true history of the Jesuits would solve many an enigma which has hitherto baffled the sagacity of the theologian, the moralist, and the philosopher—it would be a work as elaborate in its construction, and as important in its consequence, as the " great work "—the History of Human Error—which occupied the lifetime of the father " Caxton." Such a work has not been written by Andrew Steinmetz. The three large octavo vo lumes now before us, although in many respects supe rior to what we had expected from the author of the "Novitiate," are both in manner and matter greatly inferior to what they claim to be—the history of the Jesuits, or to use their author's grandiloquent expression, " the Temple of Jesuitism." Yet, although no such colossal edifice in itself, Mr. Stein metz's book may serve as a not unimportant frag ment in such a structure. These volumes, most certainly, do not constitute the history of the Jesuits, but a history they are, or rather a chapter in the great history to be hereafter completed. The impartial observer, to whom we have already referred as being anxious to unravel the mysteries of Jesuitism, may very profitably peruse Mr. Steinmetz's work in conjunetisn with others. In conjunction with otters, be it well remembered ; for if it contain much of truth, it most assuredly does not contain the whole truth. Mr. Steinmetz is, of course, peculiarly inimical to Jesuits and Jesuitism, and naturally so, for no foes, it is ge nerally admitted, are so violently antagonistic as those who "once were friends," and Mr. Steinmetz, it is well known, passed some years as a novice at Stonyhurat. Mr. Steinmetz is therefore no impartial writer, as has been fully evidenced by his former compositions, but in this work, and we re mark it with equal surprise and satisfaction, he has endeavoured to obtain for himself that honourable commendation. lie has endeavoured to be im partial. In the pursuance of this design he has gone so far as to acknowledge the admirable qualities of many individual Jesuits, and the parti cular merits of an institution of which, as a whole, he of course disapproves. Fully aware of the importance of the task which he had undertaken, the author of this history says, in his preface, "To every mind the history of the Jesuits presents subjects of interest. In their exploits the churchman, the mis sionary, the preacher, the educator—all who possess influence on the minds of men, may find hints and demonstrations; their industry and perseverance are models for all h u manity. They laboured indefatig ably, and received their reward in a world encircling power. From the first the society was never in obscurity. Like Minerva from the head of Jove, the company of Jesus went forth from the brain of Ignatius ready for battle." In the following effective but somewhat theatrical passage Mr. Steinmetz sums up a description of the seem ingly desperate condition of Catholic Europe on the portentous advent of Jesuitism. " And shall it be so," he, asks, after having alluded to the so-calied heresy of Germany, " shall Scan dinavia, England, Sweden, France, and even Italy and Spain, all tainted with heresy, shall all be resigned w ithout a struggle ? The man is born who shall answer the question by his deeds—lgnatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits. We shall meet him anon." So says Mr. Steinmetz, at the corn , mencement of his history, and " anon" we do meet with the man destined to answer the momentous question—the man who seemed to conic forward expressly, although unconsciously, to lead the forlorn hope of Catholicism, and Ise the most effectual oppo nent of Martin Luther—lgnatius Loyola. Ranke, in his " History of the Popes," has very beautifully and emphatically observed, when alluding to the fact of Luther and Loyola having both come forward as religious champions nearly at the same epoch, both impelled by the same feeling of reli gious enthusiasm, and both from the same motives pursuing such very different courses— " Thus rise two neighbouring and kindred springs on the summit of the mountain, but each seeks its path to the valleys in an opposite direction, and their waters are separated for ever." Unlike as were the conclusions, yet more unlike were the commence ments of the careers of these two remarkable men. What astrologer would have predicted those conclu sions from those commencements ? When Martin Luther was a monk, studying the breviary in the mo nastery of the Augustines, Ignatius Loyola was the most daring soldier and the most gallant cavalier in Spain. A change, however, came over the spirit of his dream ; seriously wounded at the siege of Pampeluna, and condemned to a long period of forced inactivity, he bad ample time for reading and meditation ; he read the lives of the Saints, he meditated on the inanity of human glory. He rose from his sick couch another man—still a soldier, still a hero, but a soldier of the cross, a hero of spiritual chivalry. His mili tary predilections are apparent in his religious medi tations, and, by their novelty, add greatly to their effect. It was, indeed, a glorious reverie which filled the imagination of Loyola when he pictured to himself two armies drawn out in battle ar ray, one under the guidance of the Sa viour, the other subservient to Satan. With military exactitude he dwelt upon the various peculiarities of the two camps; he listened to the Divine leader exhorting his troops to sacrifice every thing and follow him, and then, with somewhat of his old ambition, Loyola burned to signalise himself in the celestial ranks : he would be a " General," he would lead a " Com pany" under the banner of the heavenly King. Hence the title of the followers of Loyola, "the com pany of Jesus ;" hence, while other religious orders obey a " father" or "abbot," the soldier-company are governed by a "general," and their first duty is the military duty of obedience. This is ap parently a fanciful allegory, but it is in reality only another illustration of the real, every-day . " Battle of Life." But, now the company is established, and the general has taken his station in the battle-front—what is the object of the conflict ? What is the object of the conflict be tween the Saviour and the Destroyer ?—human souls. To win human souls from the power of Satan is, then, the avowed object of the company of Jesuits. This was the object which in spired Loyola to fling aside his soldier's trappings, and pass years in arduous study preparatory to em barking in his great undertaking ; this was the object which impelled Francis Xavier, the apostle of India, in that glorious mission where he converted hun dreds and thousands of the heathen, and this is the object, at least the avowed object, of the Jesuit missions throughout the world even to this day. How far they may have desecrated their sacred name, or abused the holy purpose of their founder, it is not necessary here to say. What we have said is enough to show what a most interesting and most important theme has been selected by Andrew Steinmetz for his present work. We have purposely abstained from particularizing his individual opinions, whether just or erroneous ; there is one, however, which we cannot pass over without comment. Mr. Steinmetz) speaks of Ignatius Loyola in terms of respect and admiration ; nevertheless, because it happened that the Jesuit expired without receiving the last sacrament of his church, his historian, from that circumstance, declares him to have been a hypocrite! a name which has never yet been applied to the first Jesuit. Hypo crites his followers may have been, and Ignatius him self may be called a visionary or self-deceiver, but history concurs in declaring him to have been sincere —he was too enthusiastic for a hypocrite. ... 3 ... 2 The Marchioness of Worcester has gone on a visit to the Earl and Countess Howe, at Gopsa ll Leicester,hire.

SlR,—The time has at length arrived when the public begin to see the importance of colonization. With the finest colonies in the world, those emigrants who can af ford to leave the kingdom at their owit expense, and, consequently, the most valuable class, prefer the United States, because there the cost of conveying and mort gaging land is effected in a rational and cheap manner, through the instrumentality of printed deeds, which may be bought at any stationer's, and filled up by any body, being, of course, properly witnessed. It is indis pensable that we imitate our Trans-Atlantic brethren, for waste lands will not bear costly title-deeds. This being done, the Colonial-dice must cease to con sider the colonies as being maintained for the benefit of their friends and connexions. Every man who emigrates at his own expense should have ten acres of land given to him. Every parish or union applying for a tract of land should have it on condition that a certain number of persons should be annually sent out. The advantage attendant on allowing parishes or unions to have lands is obvious. By leasing the lands to the paupers for a few years at a nominal rent, with power of purchase, they would reimburse themselves the expense of sending out of the country the surplus population, and would stimu late industry by presenting the prospect of future inde pendence. The comfort of the emigrants would be greatly promoted by parishes or unions having particu• lar places to which they could send their surplus popu lation. The poor people would then go amongst rela tives or friends, or former neighbours, who would be dis posed to assist them at the commencement. They would not be cast amongst strangers. It may be feared that some unprincipled individuals when they get out would violate their agreements with their parishes, but they might be punished by being rendered incapable of hold ing property until they had performed their engage ments, or paid the cost of their emigration. Systematic emigration may be much better effected by parishes or unions than by Government, whose offi cials are too much inclined to turn every measure into a job.—l am, Sir, your most obedient servant, Hull, July 26, 1848. T. N. THE CROYDON RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—As a constant reader of your excellent and ad mirably conducted journal, I venture to address you not in the atrainlof complaint, as I have before done with re spect to the management of the Croyd on line of railway, but in commendation of the course adop ted in its ma nagement by the present directors. I have several times considered it my painful duty under the old regime of this line, particularly when the atmospheric principle was in the ascendant with its managers and directors, to complain most bitterly of the management or rather mismanagement of the line, the irregularity of the run ning of the trains, and to point out in consequence of that irregularity the total impossibility of any commercial or professional man placing the least reliance on the time of their arrival at the London-bridge station. To men connected with business who are desirous of living a short distance out of town, and to inhale the fresh breezes of the county of Surrey, the regularity of the arrival and departure of the trains on the Croydon line must be and is a great desideratum. The old manage ment, however, set at naught any such important consi derations, and seemed to have but one hobby, namely, how they could squander away the money of the share holders upon useless and most expensive experiments, to the detriment of the interests of their proprietors and the public. Happily, however, 'since the amalgamation of the Croydon line with the Brighton, under the title of " The London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway," they:have assumed a very different shape—the directors have shown a determination not only to benefit the public but their shareholders. The expensive and not to-be• depended-upon atmospheric has been sent to the four winds of heaven—the pipes have been taken up, and the rails appropriated to a permanent down line for lo comotive engines, and the departure and arrival of the Croydon trains has thereby been reduced to a matter of certainty, and commercial and professional men can now calculate to almost a minute when they will arrive at the London-bridge station. This move in the right di• rection, on the part of the present chairman and directors of the company, appears to have been duly appreciated by the public, and many now are the professional and commercial men who, knowing they can depend on the arrival and departure of the train, have located them selves in the healthy neighbourhood of Forrest Hill, Sydenham, Anerley, Norwood, and Croydon. The di rectors have no doubt ere this found out the value and policy of the course they have pursued in doing away with the atmospheric and adopting the locomotive means of transit, in the increased number of annual tickets that have and will be taken, as well as in the increase of pas sengers generally. The certainty of the arrival and de parture of trains, though not so important to the one as to the other, is always looked to both by the pleasure hunter and the man of business. No person, whether on business or pleasure, feels any gratification in be ing fastened in a railway carriage and stuck upon a viaduct a mile from any station for three-quarters of an hour, as I have been when the atmospheric principle was in vogue on the Croydon line, it being found impracticable for that length of time to get the carriages either backward or forward. The doing away with the atmospheric principle on the Croydon lino has had another good effect, it has enabled the company to keep a distinct up-line for the Brighton and Dover trains, as well as one for the Croydon, and thereby considerably to increase the facilities of traffic on the line, and to put an end altOgether of the least , chance of the Brighton or Dover trains running into the Croydon ones, which, but for the great care and vigi lance of the officers of the company, might have been the case, in consequence of the Croydon trains having to stop at so many stations. For the promptitude with which the present directors have eradicated the evils in the management of the Croydon line, of which the public have so justly complained, I think they are entitled to their best thanks, and I ven ture to predict that neither the directors or the share holders will ever have cause to regret the steps they have taken to insure the convenience and comfort of the public. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A CONSTANT READER. Croydon, July 27, 1848. , THE PEMUROICE COLLECTION or COlNS.—Yester day the private view of the entire Pembroke collection of Greek, Roman, English, and other coins and medals, which are to be disposed of by public auction, took place at Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinsbn's Rooms, Wellington street, Strand.

The sale will extend over a period of twelve days; the first two being devoted to the disposal of the coins and medals forming the English series. Some of the coins in this series are of the utmost rarity, particularly a penny of Valfred, Archbishop of Canter bury, struck between 803 and 830, and other ecclesias tical coins of the Anglo-Saxon and Norman periods. The patterns for the English coinage aro of the finest descrip tion, and having been untouched for upwards of a eel W S l, Wry, are in a beautiful state of preservation. Among them is one of the celebrated " Pattern Crowns," by mon, which are of such rarity that the last one sold pro duced the large sum of 155 L The one at the Duke of Devonshire's coin sale some y ears back sold for upwar coins, ds of 2001.
